The sea anemone Actineria villosa expresses a lethal protein toxin. We isolated a novel 120-kDa protein, Avt120, from partially purified toxin and found it to possess extremely strong lethal activity. The 3,453-bp Avt120 gene translates to a 995-amino acid protein. The 50% lethal dose (LD(50)) of purified Avt120 in mice was 85.17 ng. Among several tested cell lines, Colo205 cells were most sens...

Freshwater fish, Cyprinus carpio were exposed to acute dose of cypermethrin at 7.5 μg/L for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 days and sub-lethal concentrations (1.5 μg/L) for 1,7, 14, 21 and 28 days to determine the change in enzyme activity in three functionally different tissues viz., gill, liver and muscle. Cypermethrin induced alterations that are both time dependent and tissue-specific, with glutamate deh...
