Abstract
|
 |
|
The three-dimensional structure of hanatoxin1 (HaTx1) was determined by using
NMR spectroscopy. HaTx1 is a 35 amino acid residue peptide toxin that inhibits
the drk1 voltage-gated K(+) channel not by blocking the pore, but by altering
the energetics of gating. Both the amino acid sequence of HaTx1 and its unique
mechanism of action distinguish this toxin from the previously described K(+)
channel inhibitors. Unlike most other K(+) channel-blocking toxins, HaTx1 adopts
an "inhibitor cystine knot" motif and is composed of two beta-strands,
strand I for residues 19-21 and strand II for residues 28-30, connected by four
chain reversals. A comparison of the surface features of HaTx1 with those of
other gating modifier toxins of voltage-gated Ca(2+) and Na(+) channels suggests
that the combination of a hydrophobic patch and surrounding charged residues is
principally responsible for the binding of gating modifier toxins to
voltage-gated ion channels.

(a) and (b), hydrophobic residues (Ala, Cys, Ile, Leu, Met, Phe, Pro, Trp, Tyr and Val) are green; basic (Arg and Lys)
and acidic (Asp and Glu) residues are blue and red, respectively. The residues in the surface hydrophobic patch and
the surrounding charged residues are labeled.
