Three-Finger Toxin Diversification in the Venoms of Cat-Eye Snakes (Colubridae: Boiga)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Molecular Evolution"
DOI: 10.1007/s00239-018-9864-6
Abstract: The Asian genus Boiga (Colubridae) is among the better studied non-front-fanged snake lineages, because their bites have minor, but noticeable, effects on humans. Furthermore, B. irregularis has gained worldwide notoriety for successfully invading Guam and… read more here.

DOI: 10.20944/preprints202008.0318.v1
Abstract: Three-finger toxins (3FTX) are a group of peptides that affect multiple receptor types. One group of proteins affected by 3FTX are nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). Structural information on how neurotoxins interact with nAChR is limited… read more here.

Human Three-Finger Protein Lypd6 Is a Negative Modulator of the Cholinergic System in the Brain
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology"
DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.662227
Abstract: Lypd6 is a GPI-tethered protein from the Ly-6/uPAR family expressed in the brain. Lypd6 enhances the Wnt/β-catenin signaling, although its action on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) have been also proposed. To investigate a cholinergic activity… read more here.

From Synthetic Fragments of Endogenous Three-Finger Proteins to Potential Drugs
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Pharmacology"
DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2019.00748
Abstract: The proteins of the Ly6 family have a three-finger folding as snake venom α-neurotoxins, targeting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), and some of them, like mammalian secreted Ly6/uPAR protein (SLURP1) and membrane-attached Ly-6/neurotoxin (Lynx1), also interact… read more here.

Novel Three-Finger Neurotoxins from Naja melanoleuca Cobra Venom Interact with GABAA and Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Toxins"
DOI: 10.3390/toxins13020164
Abstract: Cobra venoms contain three-finger toxins (TFT) including α-neurotoxins efficiently binding nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). As shown recently, several TFTs block GABAA receptors (GABAARs) with different efficacy, an important role of the TFTs central loop in… read more here.
