Hainantoxin-III
Selective blocker of TTX-S VGSC
 
Hainantoxin-III (HNTX-III) is a peptide that has been isolated from the venom of the Chinese bird spider Seleconosmia
hainana. Hainantoxin-III specifically blocks mammalian neuronal tetrodotoxin-sensitive voltage-gated sodium channels
(VGSCs). Hainantoxin III was found inactive on tetrodotoxin-resistant VGSCs and voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (both high
and low voltage-activated).
Hainantoxin-III strongly depressed the amplitude of rat DRG tetrodotoxin-sensitive Na+ currents with an IC50 value of
1.1 nM. Like Hainantoxin-IV, Hainantoxin-III causes a hyperpolarizing shift of about 10 mV in the voltage midpoint of
 
steady-state Na+ channel inactivation. Similar to Huwentoxin-IV, Hainantoxin-III and Hainantoxin-IV do not affect the
activation and inactivation kinetics of Na+ currents.
Hainantoxin-III inhibits Nav1.7 current amplitude without significantly altering the activation and inactivation kinetics.
Hainantoxin-III increases the deactivation of the Nav1.7 current after extreme depolarizations. Hainantoxin-III seems to
interact with site 4 and to trap the domain II voltage sensor in the closed state. The inhibition of Nav1.7 by hainantoxin-
III is reversible upon washing, but no reversibility was observed for Hainantoxin-IV and Huwentoxin-IV. Hainantoxin-III
was shown to block Nav1.1, Nav1.2, Nav1.3 and Nav1.7 expressed in HEK293 cells with IC50 values of 1.27 µM, 275 nM,
491 nM and 232 nM, respectively.

α-conotoxin PeIA
Discriminates between α9α10 and α7 nAChRs
 
α-conotoxin PeIA has been isolated from the venom of Conus pergrandis. α-conotoxin PeIA discriminates between α9α10
and α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) with IC50 values of 7-50 nM (depending of the authors) and 1.8 µM,
respectively.
The toxin is also known to block α3β2 nicotinic AChRs (with an IC50 of 97 nM) and block voltage-gated N-type Ca2+
channels in rat DRG neurons with an IC50 of 1.1 nM. No significant inhibition of ACh-evoked currents for nicotinic α4β2
and muscle αβγδ AChRs by 1 µM α-conotoxin PeIA was observed. The action of α-conotoxin PeIA is fully reversible
after washout of the peptide in the extracellular medium.

TMR-ShK - Stichodactyla toxin
Fluorescent (red) Kv1.3 blocker
 
TMR-ShK peptide toxin is a synthetic derivative of the well-known ShK toxin (Stichodactyla helianthus neurotoxin) isolated
from the venom of the Carribean sea anemone Stoichactis helianthus. Wild-type ShK blocks potently Kv1.3 (KCNA3), Kv1.1
(KCNA1), Kv1.4 (KCNA4) and Kv1.6 (KCNA6) with a Kd value of 11 pM, 16 pM, 312 pM and 165 pM, respectively. The
fluorescent TMR-labeled ShK blocks Kv1.3 and Kv1.1 with Kd values of 52 pM and 397 pM, respectively. TMR-ShK can be
used to identify lymphocytes expressing Kv1.3 channels such as effective memory T cells (TEM) in the case of autoimmune
diseases (type 1 diabetes, mellitus or rheumatoid arthritis) which overexpress Kv1.3 channels.

µ-conotoxin GIIIB
Selective blocker of Nav1.4 channels
 
µ-conotoxin GIIIB is a 22-mer peptide originally isolated from the venom of the piscivorous marine snail Conus
geographus.
µ-conotoxin GIIIB adopts a compact structure consisting of a distorted 310-helix and a small ß-hairpin. µ-conotoxin GIIIB is
stabilized by three disulphide bridges and is highly enriched in lysine and arginine residues, forming potential sites of
interaction with Na channels. An unusual feature is the presence of three hydroxyproline residues. µ-conotoxin GIIIB is a
useful probe to discriminate between neuronal and muscle sodium channels as it exhibits at least a 1000-fold specificity for
muscle versus nerve sodium channels. µ-Conotoxin GIIIB selectively blocks Nav1.4 (µ1) voltage-dependent sodium
channels, which are predominantly expressed in muscle, with an affinity close to 20 nM. µ-Conotoxin GIIIB appears to
physically occlude the channel pore by binding on site I of the Na+ channel.

α-conotoxin GID
Blocker of α3β2, α7 and α4β2 nAChRs
 
α-conotoxin GID is a peptide originally isolated from the venom of the Conus geographus. It is composed of 19 amino
acids and is folded by two disulphide bonds connecting Cys1-Cys3 and Cys2-Cys4. Based on the number of amino acids
between the second and the third cysteine residues (loop I) and the third and fourth cysteine residues (loop II),
 
α-conotoxin GID belongs to the α4/7-conotoxin family. α-conotoxin GID blocks selectively  neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine
receptors with IC50 values of 3 nM (α3β2 nicotinic receptors), 5 nM (α7) and 150 nM (α4β2). α-conotoxin GID is at least 1000-fold less potent onto the α1β1γδ, α3β4, and α4β4 nicotinic receptors. α-conotoxin GID is a unique α4/7-conotoxin because
of its ability to block both α7 and α3β2 isoforms, contrary to conotoxin PnIA or PnIB that are more selective.
