Structural highlights
1bah is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Leiurus quinquestriatus. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
KAX11_LEIHE This toxin inhibits numerous potassium channels: shaker (Ki=227 nM), Kv1.2/KCNA2 (nanomolar range), Kv1.3/KCNA3 (nanomolar range), Kv1.5/KCNA5 (Kd>100 nM), Kv1.6/KCNA6 (Ki=22 nM), KCa1.1/KCNMA1 (IC(50)=5.9 nM). It blocks channel activity by a simple bimolecular inhibition process. It also shows a weak interaction with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR), suggesting it may weakly inhibit it (PubMed:31276191). It also exhibits pH-specific antimicrobial activities against bacteria (B.subtilis, E.coli and S.aureus) and the fungus C.albicans (PubMed:15118082).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
