Abstract

The three-disulfide inhibitor cystine knot (ICK) motif is a fold common to venom peptides from spiders, scorpions, and aquatic cone snails. Over a decade ago it was proposed that the ICK motif is an elaboration of an ancestral two-disulfide fold coined the disulfide-directed β-hairpin (DDH). Here we report the isolation, characterization, and structure of a novel toxin [U(1)-liotoxin-Lw1a (U(1)-LITX-Lw1a)] from the venom of the scorpion Liocheles waigiensis that is the first example of a native peptide that adopts the DDH fold. U(1)-LITX-Lw1a not only represents the discovery of a missing link in venom protein evolution, it is the first member of a fourth structural fold to be adopted by scorpion-venom peptides. Additionally, we show that U(1)-LITX-Lw1a has potent insecticidal activity across a broad range of insect pest species, thereby providing a unique structural scaffold for bioinsecticide development.

摘要

三硫键抑制剂胱氨酸结(ICK)基序是蜘蛛、蝎子和水生锥形蜗牛毒液肽共有的一种折叠结构。十多年前,有人提出 ICK 基序是一种经过修饰的祖先二硫键折叠结构,称为二硫键导向β发夹(DDH)。本文报道了一种新型毒素[U(1)-liotoxin-Lw1a(U(1)-LITX-Lw1a)]的分离、鉴定和结构,该毒素来自蝎子 Liocheles waigiensis 的毒液,是第一个采用 DDH 折叠的天然肽。U(1)-LITX-Lw1a 不仅代表了毒液蛋白进化中缺失环节的发现,也是蝎子毒液肽采用的第四个结构折叠的第一个成员。此外,我们还表明 U(1)-LITX-Lw1a 对多种害虫具有很强的杀虫活性,从而为生物杀虫剂的开发提供了一个独特的结构支架。
