- W1999907125 abstract "Many kinds of venomous principles modulate physiological responses of mammalian signal transduction systems, on which they act selectively as enhancers, inhibitors or some other kind of effectors. These toxins have become useful tools for physiological research. We have characterized paralyzing toxins from the venom of spiders, scorpions, insects, jellyfishes and sea anemones in the subtropical region including the Ryukyu Islands. Venom profiles are screened by MALDI‐TOF fingerprinting analysis prior to purification of the venomous components, then marked target toxins of small molecular mass (1000–5000) are characterized directly by means of mass spectrometric techniques such as Frit‐FAB MS/MS, PSD/CID‐TOF MS, Capil. ‐HPLC/Q‐TOF MS/MS etc. The proteinous toxins of jellyfish or sea anemone are characterized by RT‐PCR technique by the information of the cleaved peptides after the protein was hydrolyzed by appropriate peptidase and the sequence of the cleaved peptide was determined by conventional methods. The venom of Araneid spider is mainly composed of a mixture of closely related acylpolyamines. More than 90 polyamine toxins were identified from one venom sac of the Madagascan spider, Nephilengys borbonica, by Frit‐Fab MS/MS employing charge remote fragmentation technique. A novel polyamine toxin was also found from the rare wondering spider, Macrothele gigas from Iriomote Island. The structure of the toxin is an analog of polyamine toxin found in trapdoor spiders. Many kinds of cystine‐rich peptides showing various types of ion channel antagonism have been isolated from spiders. A series of toxins possessing the same mode of cystine knots was recently isolated from the saliva of assassin bugs, Peirates turpis, Isyndus obscurus, Agriophodrus dohrni. These toxins act as calcium channel blocker. Most of the scorpion toxins reported are from scorpions hazardous to humans, and they belong to the major super family Buthoidea. Among them are the well‐known genera, such as Buthus, Androctonus, Centruroides, Leiurus, or Tytius. We have investigated the minor group of scorpions from the super family Chactoidea (Scorpionidae, Ishnuridae). The venoms of these scorpions, involving the genera Heterometrus, Pandinus, Opisthacanthus, and Isometrus, contain different kinds of peptide toxins. Fingerprinting peptide analysis of the toxin profiles for these scorpions showed some difference from the profiles of Buthoidea scorpions. These venoms contain linear pore‐forming peptides and 2‐cystine‐bridged toxins in addition to 4‐cystine‐bridged toxins. The most hazardous jellyfish in Okinawa, Chiropsalmus quadrigatus, and the related box jellyfishes, Carybdea rastoni, C. alata, contain quite labile proteinaceous toxins, CqTX, CrTX and CaTX, respectively. The toxins were inactivated by adding an organic solvent such as methanol or acetonitrile, by changing the pH of the toxin solution, dialyzing the toxin solution, storing the toxin in a refrigerator, or by lyophilizing the toxin solution. However, the toxic activity was retained in the presence of sodium chloride. We purified the jellyfish toxins by adding sodium chloride through all steps of the purification procedure and finally obtained the whole primary amino acid sequence of the toxin by RT‐PCR method. The toxic protein CqTX is homologous to the other box jelly fish toxin, CrTX and CaTX. These toxins belong to a new class of proteins since they show no homology to known proteins. Another notorious and dangerous specimen in the Ryukyu Islands is Phyllodiscus semori. The venom is composed of three kinds of proteins (PsTX‐20A, PsTX‐60A, PsTX‐60B). PsTX‐20A shows homology to the proteinaceous toxin actinoporin, a cytolytic protein isolated from the genus Actinia, but PsTX‐60s has no homology to any ever cloned proteins. Further elucidation of the mechanism of toxic action of these Coelenterates is in progress." @default.
