8.B.16.1.1









Maurocalcine (maurocalcin; MCa) of the scorpion.  The 3-d structure is known (1C6W_A) (Mabrouk et al., 2007). This toxin stabilizes ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1) opening in a long-lasting subconductance state (48%-60% of the full conductance state) (Fajloun et al. 2000, Xiao et al. 2016). Furthermore, it triggers calcium release from sarcoplasmic vesicles. Cryo-EM analysis of scorpion toxin binding to Ryanodine Receptors reveals a subconductance that is abolished by PKA phosphorylation (Haji-Ghassemi et al. 2023).

Hadrucalcin of 74 aas. A knottin. Activates both skeletal ryanodine receptors (RYR1) and cardiac ryanodine receptors (RYR2) by inducing a long-lasting subconductance state, rapidly permeating the external membrane of cardiomyocytes and inducing calcium release from intracellular stores. Acts synergistically with caffeine (Schwartz et al. 2009).

Gamma-conotoxin PnVIIA of 80 aas and 1 TMS. It may act on voltage-gated non-specific cation pacemaker channels (HCN). It triggers depolarization and firing of action potential bursts in the caudodorsal neurons of lymnaea. This effect is due to activation or enhancement of a slow inward cation current that may underlie endogenous bursting activity of these neurons (Fainzilber et al. 1998).

Alpha-conotoxin-like Rt20.2 of 92 aas with 1 N-terminal TMS. Alpha-conotoxins act on postsynaptic membranes,;they bind to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) and thus inhibit them. This toxin specifically blocks mammalian neuronal nAChR of the alpha-7/CHRNA7, alpha-3-beta-2/CHRNA3-CHRNB2 and alpha-4-beta-2/CHRNA4-CHRNB2 subtypes.α-conotoxin

Iota-conotoxin precursor of 82 aas and 1 N-terminal TMS. Iota contoxin RXIA is 46 aas and activates Nav1.6 and Nav1.2 voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC).  It contains an inhibitory cystein knot and a D-amino acid.  It contains the cysteine motif:  C-C-CC-CC-C-C as do other members of the family (Robinson and Norton 2014).
