The present work describes the identification of toxins expressed by the venom gland of the spider Lasiodora sp. The toxins LTx1, LTx2 and LTx3 were identified by the screening of a cDNA library. These toxins showed significant similarity at the amino acid level with spider toxins from Lasiodora parahybana, Eurypelma californicum, Brachypelma smithii, Selenocosmia huwena.
本研究描述了对蜘蛛Lasiodora sp.毒腺所表达毒素的鉴定。通过筛选cDNA文库鉴定出毒素LTx1、LTx2和LTx3。这些毒素在氨基酸水平上与来自巴西所罗门食鸟蛛、加州捕鸟蛛、墨西哥红膝头蛛、海南捕鸟蛛的蜘蛛毒素具有显著相似性。
