Identification and Characterization of a Novel GAPDH‐Derived Antimicrobial Peptide From Jellyfish

Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 31, Issue 4, April 2025.
A novel GAPDH‐derived peptide JFP‐2826, which showed selective antimicrobial activity against marine‐specific Vibrio bacteria, was identified from the transcriptome of Rhopilema esculentum. Jellyfish GAPDH may have a newly discovered antimicrobial‐related function conducted by releasing JFP‐2826‐like cryptic peptides. ABSTRACT Marine organisms serve as

Inhibition of cGMP‐Signalling Rescues Retinal Ganglion Cells From Axotomy‐Induced Degeneration

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 169, Issue 4, April 2025.
Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons are myelinated only beyond the lamina cribrosa, that is, when leaving the eye. Axotomy‐induced RGC degeneration is likely to be related to excessive nitric oxide (NO) production, leading to an over‐production of cGMP, over‐activation of protein kinase G (PKG) and excessive phosphorylation of target proteins, such as ...

Molecular basis of the remarkable species selectivity of an insecticidal sodium channel toxin from the African spider Augacephalus ezendami [PDF]

, 2016
The inexorable decline in the armament of registered chemical insecticides has stimulated research into environmentally-friendly alternatives. Insecticidal spider-venom peptides are promising candidates for bioinsecticide development but it is ...

Subtype Specificity of β-Toxin Tf1a from Tityus fasciolatus in Voltage Gated Sodium Channels

Toxins, 2018
Scorpion venoms are a complex mixture of components. Among them the most important are peptides, which presents the capacity to interact and modulate several ion channel subtypes, including voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV).

Interrogating stonefish venom: small molecules present in envenomation caused by Synanceia spp.

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 3, Page 399-414, March 2025.
Molecular analysis of Synanceia horrida (ShV) and S. verrucosa (SvV) venoms identified three small molecules new to stonefish venom: Gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), choline, and 0‐acetylcholine. Analysis on human nicotinic acetylcholine (nAChRs) and GABAA receptors showed activation of neuronal (α7) and adult muscle‐type (α1β1δε) nAChRs by ShV, while ...

Venom Gland Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analyses of the Enigmatic Scorpion Superstitionia donensis (Scorpiones: Superstitioniidae), with Insights on the Evolution of Its Venom Components

Toxins, 2016
Venom gland transcriptomic and proteomic analyses have improved our knowledge on the diversity of the heterogeneous components present in scorpion venoms. However, most of these studies have focused on species from the family Buthidae.
