The venoms of cone snails provide a rich source of neuroactive peptides (conotoxins). Several venom peptide families have been identified that are either agonists (ι- and δ-conotoxins) or antagonists (μ- and μO-conotoxins) of voltage-gated sodium

It has previously been shown that nicotine-evoked dopamine release from rat striatal synaptosomes and nicotine-evoked norepinephrine release from hippocampal synaptosomes are mediated by distinct nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes. In

The vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylation of glutamate to gamma-carboxyglutamate was originally well characterized in the mammalian blood clotting cascade. gamma-Carboxyglutamate has also been found in a number of other mammalian proteins and in ne

A Conus peptide family (the contryphans) is noteworthy because of the presence of a post-translationally modified D-amino acid in all members of the family. A new contryphan peptide, Leu-contryphan-P, was isolated from the venom of Conus purpurascens

1. The effects of two new acetylcholine receptor antagonists, alpha-conotoxin MII and alpha-conotoxin ImI, on nicotinic synaptic transmission in the 10th paravertebral sympathetic ganglion of the leopard frog (Rana pipiens) were examined. The pregang

We report a novel post-translational modification involving halogenation of tryptophan in peptides recovered from the venom of carnivorous marine cone snails (Conus). The residue, L-6-bromotryptophan, was identified in the sequence of a heptapeptide,

We have isolated a 16-amino acid peptide from the venom of the marine snail Conus magus which potently blocks nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) composed of alpha3beta2 subunits. This peptide, named alpha-conotoxin MII, was identified by elec

1. The novel peptide toxin delta-conotoxin-GmVIA, recently purified by us from the mollusk-hunting snail Conus gloriamaris, induces convulsive-like contractions when injected into land snails but has no detectable effects in mammals. 2. At concentrat
