- W2008489657 abstract "Alpha scorpion toxins bind to receptor site 3 on voltage-dependent sodium channels and inhibit their inactivation. The alpha-scorpion toxin BotIII is the most toxic protein of Buthus occitanus tunetanus. Its sequence differs only by three amino acid residues from that of AahII, the most active alpha-toxin. Due to their high affinity and selectivity for mammalian sodium channels, BotIII and AahII represent powerful tools for studying the molecular determinants of specificity for voltage-dependent sodium channels. Sequence analysis of BotIII gene has revealed two exons separated by a 381-bp intron and a signal peptide of 19 amino acids. We succeeded in expressing BotIII in significantly higher amounts than AahII the only expressed strict alpha anti-mammalian scorpion toxin reported in the literature. We have also modified specific amino acid residues of BotIII. The recombinant and the natural toxins differ by the amidation of the C-terminal residue. Toxicity and binding experiments indicated: (a) the affinity of rBotIII-OH and rAahII-OH (rBotIII-OH with the 3 mutations R10V, V51L, N64H) for the voltage-dependent sodium channels is reduced compared to the natural toxins. This data revealed the important role of the C-terminal amidation for the biological activity of BotIII and AahII; (b) the single mutation N64H is responsible for the difference of toxicity and affinity between rBotIII-OH and rAahII-OH; (c) the addition of the sequence GR to rBotIII-OH leads to the loss of biological activity. This study is in agreement with the important role attributed to the C-terminal sequence of alpha-toxins in their interaction with sodium channels receptors." @default.
