Cone snails are tropical marine mollusks that envenomate prey with a complex mixture of neuropharmacologically active compounds for the purpose of feeding and defence, each evolved to act in a highly specific manner on different parts of the nervous system. Here, we report the peptide purification, molecular cloning, chemical synthesis, and functional characterization of a structurally unique toxin...
O-superfamily conotoxins include several families that have diverse pharmacological activity on Na + , K + or Ca 2+ channels. These superfamily toxins have been mainly found in fish-hunting and mollusk-hunting Conus species. Here, we reported two novel O-superfamily conotoxins, vx6a and vx6b, purified from a worm-hunting cone snail, Conus vexillum. Though their cysteine framework...
