Diversity and Evolutionary Analysis of Venom Insulin Derived from Cone Snails

open access: yesToxins
Cone snails possess a diverse array of novel peptide toxins, which selectively target ion channels and receptors in the nervous and cardiovascular systems. These numerous novel peptide toxins are a valuable resource for future marine drug development. In

Friends or Foes? Emerging Impacts of Biological Toxins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Toxins are substances produced from biological sources (e.g., animal, plants, microorganisms) that have deleterious effects on a living organism. Despite the obvious health concerns of being exposed to toxins, they are having substantial positive impacts

Three New Cytotoxic Steroidal Glycosides Isolated from Conus pulicarius Collected in Kosrae, Micronesia

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2017
Three new sulfated steroidal glycosides (3–5), along with known cholesterol derivatives (1,2), were isolated from the visceral extract of the cone snail Conus pulicarius.

Description of a new actinosporean type from South African freshwater [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The 1st report on actinospores described these organisms as parasites related to myxosporeans. For a long time this group of parasites was believed to represent an independent taxonomic entity.

Critical time window for NO-cGMP-dependent long-term memory formation after one-trial appetitive conditioning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP signaling pathway is implicated in an increasing number of experimental models of plasticity. Here, in a behavioral analysis using one-trial appetitive associative conditioning, we show that there is an obligatory requirement ...

Possible origins of macroscopic left-right asymmetry in organisms

open access: yes, 2012
I consider the microscopic mechanisms by which a particular left-right (L/R) asymmetry is generated at the organism level from the microscopic handedness of cytoskeletal molecules.

Neuroactive diol and acyloin metabolites from cone snail-associated bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesBioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2013
The bacterium Gordonia sp. 647W.R.1a.05 was cultivated from the venom duct of the cone snail, Conus circumcisus. The Gordonia sp. organic extract modulated the action potential of mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons. Assay-guided fractionation led to the identification of the new compound circumcin A (1) and 11 known analogs (2-12).

Conotoxins that Confer Therapeutic Possibilities

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2012
Cone snails produce a distinctive repertoire of venom peptides that are used both as a defense mechanism and also to facilitate the immobilization and digestion of prey.
