8.B.1.1.6









Pain-inducing α-toxin of 97 aas, CvIV4 (Rowe et al. 2011).  CvIV4 slowed the fast inactivation of Na(v)1.7, a Na+ channel expressed in peripheral pain-pathway neurons (nociceptors), but did not affect the Na(v)1.8-based sodium currents of these neurons. CvIV4 also slowed the fast inactivation of Na(v)1.2, Na(v)1.3 and Na(v)1.4. The effects of CvIV4 are similar to Old World α-toxins that target Na(v)1.7 (AahII, BmK MI, LqhIII, OD1).

8.B.1.1.7









AahII; neurotoxin 2 of 85 aas. Scorpion α-toxins bind voltage-independently at site-3 of sodium channels (Nav) and inhibit the inactivation of the activated channels, thereby blocking neuronal transmission. This toxin is active against mammals.

8.B.1.1.8









α-Neurotoxin of 67 aas from the yellow scorpion, LqhIII.  Binds voltage-independently at site-3 of sodium channels and inhibits the inactivation of the activated channels, modulating inactivation by hindering voltage-sensor movement, thereby blocking neuronal transmission (Ma et al. 2013). Dissociation is voltage-dependent. This alpha-like toxin is highly toxic to insects and competes with LqhaIT on binding to insect sodium channels. Differs from classical anti-mammalian alpha-toxins as it inhibits sodium channel inactivation in cell bodies of hippocampus brain neurons, on which the anti-mammalian Lqh2 is inactive, and is unable to affect Nav1.2 in the rat brain, on which Lqh2 is highly active (Rowe et al. 2011).

Scorpion toxin, Cn12 of 67 aas and four disulfide bridges. he NMR structure has been determined.  It has a beta-toxin sequence but alpha-like physiological activity (del Río-Portilla et al. 2004). It binds voltage-independently at site-3 of sodium channels (Nav) to inhibit the inactivation of the activated channels, thereby blocking neuronal transmission.

8.B.1.2.2









Beta-anti-mammalian scorpian toxin, Css4 of 87 aas and 1 N-terminal TMS.  Beta toxins bind voltage-independently at site-4 of sodium channels (Nav) and shift the voltage of activation toward more negative potentials, thereby affecting sodium channel activation and promoting spontaneous and repetitive firing (Cestèle et al. 2001). This toxin is active only on Na+ channels in mammals (Cestèle et al. 1998). Binding results from electrostatic interactions in domain II of the Na+ channels (Mantegazza and Cestèle 2005).
