Cone snail venoms have separately evolved for predation and defense. Despite remarkable inter- and intra-species variability, defined sets of synergistic venom peptides (cabals) are considered essential for prey capture by cone snails. To better unde

α-Conotoxins inhibit nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and are used as probes to study cholinergic pathways in vertebrates. Model organisms, such as Drosophila melanogaster, express nAChRs in their CNS that are suitable to investigate the n

Hyaluronidases are ubiquitous enzymes commonly found in venom and their main function is to degrade hyaluran, which is the major glycosaminoglycan of the extracellular matrix in animal tissues. Here we describe the purification and characterization o

Background: Animals and animal toxins have a long-lasting tradition in diverse human cultures all over the world. In addition to medicinal plants, animals are important components of many traditional medicines. Methods: By using selected examples, we

The venom of cone snails has been the subject of intense studies because it contains small neuroactive peptides of therapeutic value. However, much less is known about their larger proteins counterparts and their role in prey envenomation. Here, we a

Milked venom from cone snails represent a novel biological resource with a proven track record for drug discovery. To strengthen this correlation, we undertook a chromatographic and mass spectrometric study of individual milked venoms from Conus purp

The 83-residue conopeptide (p21a) and its corresponding nonhydroxylated analog were isolated from the injected venom of Conus purpurascens. The complete conopeptide sequences were derived from Edman degradation sequencing of fragments from tryptic, c

We previously characterized contryphan-R, a D-tryptophan-containing octapeptide from the venom of Conus radiatus. In this study, we present evidence that the contryphan family of peptides is widely distributed in venoms of the fish-hunting cone snail

The M-superfamily of conotoxins currently comprises three major groups of peptides (the mu-, kappaMu-, and psi-families) that share a key structural characteristic, the six-cysteine motif CC-C-C-CC, but differ with respect to their molecular targets.
