Determinationofdisulfidebridgesoftwospidertoxins:Hainantoxin-IIIandHainantoxin-IV
Peptidetoxinsareusuallyhighlybridgedproteinswithmultipairsofintrachaindisulfidebonds.Analysisofdisulfideconnectivityisanimportantfacetofproteinstructuredetermination.Inthispaper,wesuccessfullyassignedthedisulfidelinkageoftwonovelpeptidetoxins,calledHNTX-IIIandHNTX-IV,isolatedfromthevenomofOrnithoctonushainanaspider.BothpeptidesareusefulinhibitorsofTTX-sensitivevoltage-gatedsodiumchannelsandarecomposedofsixcysteineresiduesthatformthreedisulfidebonds,respectively.Firstly,thepeptideswerepartiallyreducedbytris(2-carboxyethyl)-phosphine(TCEP)in0.1Mcitratebuffercontaining6Mguanidine-HClat40°Cfortenminutes.Subsequently,thepartiallyreducedintermediatescontainingfreethiolswereseparatedbyreversed-phasehigh-performanceliquidchromatography(RP-HPLC)andalkylatedbyrapidcarboxamidomethylation.Then,thedisulfidebondsoftheintermediateswereanalyzedbyEdmandegradation.Byusingthestrategyabove,disulfidelinkagesofHNTX-IIIandHNTX-IVweredeterminedasI-IV,II-VandIII-VIpattern.Inaddition,thisstudyalsoshowedthatthismethodmayhaveagreatpotentialfordeterminingthedisulfidebondsofspiderpeptidetoxins.
