Sequence comparison of Tatritin, Tachystatins, and Neurotoxins from spider venoms. (A) Amino acid sequence alignment of Tatritin and Tachystatins. Conserved cysteines are indicated in large boldface letters. Lines show the identical pattern of disulfide bonds in Tatritin and Tachystatins. (B) Alignment of the amino acid sequence of Tatritin with those of insecticidal peptides from venom of the spiders. Conserved cysteines are indicated in large boldface letters. Lines show the identical pattern of disulfide bonds in Tatritin and Neurotoxins. (C) β-Sheet structural models of the C-terminal regions of Tatritin and Tachystatin C. Solid/dashed lines indicate side chains pointing out of/into the plane of the diagram. Basic and hydrophobic amino acid residues are indicated in underline and red highlight, respectively. The numbers indicate the positions of amino acid residues in the mature peptide.
