Scorpion toxins are proteins found in the venom of scorpions. Their toxic effect may be mammal- or insect-specific and acts by binding to sodium channels, inhibiting the inactivation of activated channels and blocking neuronal transmission.
The application relates to the technical field of biological medicineengineering, and provides a preparation method and application of a scorpiontoxin-derived transmembrane polypeptide. The OpiCalcin1 polypeptide is optimized in a truncation mode, two polypeptides Opi1 17-33 CSKKCKRRGTNPEKRCR and Opi1 23-33 RRGTNPEKRCR with excellent transmembrane function and low cytotoxicity are provided. Through experiment verification, the two cell transmembrane peptides have excellent transmembrane effect and low cytotoxicity, meanwhile, the defects of time-consuming and laborious in synthesizing the complete sequence of scorpiontoxin OpiCalcin1 are overcome, the cell transmembrane peptides can be used for preparing drug, nuclear localization sequence and probe transport carriers, and the targeting efficiency is improved. Compared with traditional scorpiontoxinmedicine, the synthesis of the scorpion toxin to explore the transmembrane activity provides a new selection for the drug carrier.
