Spider venom contains a very valuable repertoire of natural resources to discover novel components for molecular diversity analyses and therapeutic applications. In this study, HWTX-XI toxins from the spider venom glands of Ornithoctonus huwena which are Kunitz-type toxins (KTTs) and were directly cloned, analyzed and functionally characterized. To date, the HWTX-XI superfamily consists of 38 members...
The spider venom is a large pharmacological repertoire composed of different types of bioactive peptide toxins. Despite the importance of spider toxins in capturing terrestrial prey and defending themselves against predators, we know little about the venom components from the spider acting on the fish. Here we constructed a cDNA library of a pair of venomous glands from a single fish-hunting spider...
The bird spider Ornithoctonus huwena is one of the most venomous spiders in China. Its venom has been investigated but usually only the most abundant components have been analyzed. To characterize the primary structure of O. huwena toxins, a list of transcripts within the venom gland were made using the expressed sequence tag (EST) strategy. We generated 468 ESTs from a directional cDNA library of...
