The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and relates to a mutants of mu-
conotoxin KIIIA rich in positive charges and application of the mutants. The
mutant is obtained by carrying out site-
directed mutagenesis on C1A, K7R and C15R on a natural mu-
conotoxin KIIIA sequence; the
amino acid sequence of the
mutant is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1 in a sequence table. According to the invention, a series of mutants which are simple and convenient to synthesize and have a remarkable inhibition effect on a NaV1.4 channel are obtained by performing systematic structural optimization on a parent
peptide KIIIA containing three pairs of disulfide bonds and adopting a strategy of combining
disulfide bond deletion and
amino acid site-
directed mutagenesis. Furthermore, non-natural
amino acid Pen is introduced into the
mutant with the optimal activity, so that the stability of the mutant
in vivo is remarkably enhanced, and the action time is prolonged.
