Function

K1B_BUNGR Inhibits voltage-dependent potassium channels of the Kv1 family (Kv1.1/KCNA1 (Kd=6 nM), Kv1.2/KCNA2 (Kd=15 nM), Kv1.3/KCNA3 (Kd=10-39 nM), Kv1.6/KCNA6, and KCa3.1/KCNN4 (Kd=172 nM)).[1] [2] [3] [4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

BgK is a K+ channel-blocking toxin from the sea anemone Bunodosoma granulifera. It is a 37-residue protein that adopts a novel fold, as determined by NMR and modeling. An alanine-scanning-based analysis revealed the functional importance of five residues, which include a critical lysine and an aromatic residue separated by 6.6 +/- 1.0 A. The same diad is found in the three known homologous toxins from sea anemones. More strikingly, a similar functional diad is present in all K+ channel-blocking toxins from scorpions, although these toxins adopt a distinct scaffold. Moreover, the functional diads of potassium channel-blocking toxins from sea anemone and scorpions superimpose in the three-dimensional structures. Therefore, toxins that have unrelated structures but similar functions possess conserved key functional residues, organized in an identical topology, suggesting a convergent functional evolution for these small proteins.
