Engineered Conotoxin Differentially Blocks and Discriminates Rat and Human α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors

Shuai Wang et al.

Summary: The study identified that amidated [Q1G, Delta R14]LvIB is a potent blocker of rat alpha 7 nAChRs and can differentiate between human and rat alpha 7 nAChRs. Substitutions at key mutation sites between rat and human alpha 7 nAChRs revealed that the combined influence of Gln141, Asn184, and Lys186 determines the alpha 7 nAChR species specificity of this peptide.

Venom-Derived Neurotoxins Targeting Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors

Ayaulym Bekbossynova et al.

Summary: Acetylcholine is the first neurotransmitter described, with its receptors being attractive targets for predation and defense in different organisms. Proteins and peptides targeting nAChR in venom demonstrate high affinity and selectivity, aiding in research on the cholinergic system.

Therapeutic Targeting of α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors

Roger L. Papke et al.

Summary: The alpha 7-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, with its unique characteristics and potential therapeutic importance, is the focus of research on subtype-selective agonists and conformational landscape. Challenges arise from rapid desensitization and ligand binding sites, but positive allosteric modulators and direct allosteric agonist or antagonists have diverse effects on receptor activation profiles.
