Reference
  • Conatokins-T, a 21-animo acid peptide which induces sleep-like symptoms in young mice was purified from the venom of the fish-hunting cone snail, Conus tulipa. The amino acid sequence of the peptide was determined and verified by chemical synthesis. The peptide has 4 residues of the modified amino acid, ycarboxyglutamate (Gla). The sequence of the peptide is: Gly-Glu-Gla-GIa-Tyr-Gln-Lys-Met-Leu-Gla-AsnLeu-Arg-Gla-Ala-Glu-Val-Lys-Lys-Asn-Ala-NHz. Conantokin-T inhibits N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated calcium influx in central nervous system neurons. This observation suggests that like conantokin-G (a homologous Conus peptide with recently identified NMDA antagonist activity) conantokin-T has NMDA antagonist activity. A sequence comparison of conantokins-T and -G identifies the 4 GIa residues and the N-terminal dipeptide sequence as potential key elements for the biological activity of this peptide.
  • Conantokin-T. A gamma-carboxyglutamate containing peptide with N-methyl-d-aspartate antagonist activity
  • Conantokin-T (Con-T), which contains four Gla residues, is a 21-residue peptide isolated from C. tulipa venoms, sharing about 40% sequence homology with Con-G. Both Con-G and Con-T in-duce a sleeping effect in young mice but hyperactive behaviour in old mice when administered by intracranial injection.
