Structural highlights 1ptx is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Androctonus australis. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.3Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function SCX2_ANDAU Alpha toxins bind voltage-independently at site-3 of sodium channels (Nav) and inhibit the inactivation of the activated channels, thereby blocking neuronal transmission. This toxin is active against mammals. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed The crystal structure of toxin II from the scorpion Androctonus australis Hector has been refined at 1.3 A resolution using restrained least-squares methods. The final R-factor is 0.148 for the 13,619 reflections between 7.0 A and 1.3 A resolution with F > 2.5 sigma (F) and the bond length standard deviation from ideality is 0.017 A. Although minor changes have been introduced relative to the model previously refined at 1.8 A resolution, the use of higher-resolution data has allowed the modelling of some discrete disorder. Thus, three residues (including a disulphide bridge) have been built with multiple conformations. Occupancies were refined for the 106 solvent molecules included in the model, nine of them with explicit multiple sites. There is well-defined electron density for some of the protein hydrogen atoms in the final difference Fourier map. A detailed description of the toxin structure is presented, along with a comparison with the high-resolution structure of the related variant-3 scorpion toxin.
