The α-LTX protein tertiary structure can be divided in three parts: the N-terminal wing (36 kDa), [7] the body (76 kDa), [7] and the C-terminal head (18.5 kDa). [7] Because of C-terminal ankyrin repeats, which mediate protein-protein interactions, the α-LTX monomer forms a dimer with another α-LTX monomer under normal conditions. [ 8 ]
The mechanism of many spider toxins is through blockage of calcium channels. A remotely related group of atracotoxins operate by opening sodium channels. Delta atracotoxin from the venom of the Sydney funnel-web spider produces potentially fatal neurotoxic symptoms in primates by slowing the inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels. [2]
During tip growth, cell walls are extended by the external assembly and polymerization of cell wall components, and the internal production of new cell membrane. [3] The Spitzenkörper is an intracellular organelle associated with tip growth. It is composed of an aggregation of membrane-bound vesicles containing cell wall components.
