Conopeptide p-tia defines a new allosteric site on the extracellular surface of the α1b-adrenoceptor

open access: yes, 2013
The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily is an important drug target that includes over 1000 membrane receptors that functionally couple extracellular stimuli to intracellular effectors.

Transcriptomic messiness in the venom duct of Conus miles contributes to conotoxin diversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Marine cone snails have developed sophisticated chemical strategies to capture prey and defend themselves against predators. Among the vast array of bioactive molecules in their venom, peptide components called conotoxins or conopeptides dominate, with ...

Anti-allodynic efficacy of the chi-conopeptide, Xen2174, in rats with neuropathic pain

open access: yes, 2005
Xen2174 is a structural analogue of Mr1A, a χ-conopeptide recently isolated from the venom of the marine cone snail, Conus marmoreus. Although both χ-conopeptides are highly selective inhibitors of the norepinephrine transporter (NET), Xen2174 has ...

Characterising the pharmacology of a P-superfamily peptide, pi-conopeptide AMIXA, from the venom of Conus amadis

open access: yes, 2009
Peptides from venom of marine cone snails are regarded as promising novel ligands in drug discovery race. They are highly specific, up to subtype level, leading to new therapeutic insights for clinical and neuropharmacological research and applications ...

High conopeptide diversity in Conus tribblei revealed through analysis of venom duct transcriptome using two high-throughput sequencing platforms

open access: yes, 2015
The venom of each species of Conus contains different kinds of pharmacologically active peptides which are mostly unique to that species. Collectively, the similar to 500-700 species of Conus produce a large number of these peptides, perhaps exceeding ...

High-resolution picture of a venom gland transcriptome: Case study with the marine snail Conus consors

open access: yes, 2012
International audienceAlthough cone snail venoms have been intensively investigated in the past few decades, little is known about the whole conopeptide and protein content in venom ducts, especially at the transcriptomic level.
