Conopeptides are a diverse group of recently evolved venom peptides used for prey capture
and/or defense. Each species of cone snails produces in excess of 1000 conopeptides, …

… In this review we will focus on aurora-A that starts to localize to centrosomes only in S phase
as soon as … S Dutertre is a fellow of the ARC and S Descamps is a fellow of the LNCC. …

… rules for folding, (150) correct folding of disulfide-rich peptides involves a complex process
involving covalent reactions such as oxidation (S–S formation), reduction (S–S breakage), …

ConoServer ( http://www.conoserver.org ) is a database specializing in the sequences and
structures of conopeptides, which are toxins expressed by marine cone snails. Cone snails …

… However, such cells do not complete cytokinesis and do not resume S-phase, indicating a
critical role for the centrosome in the overall control of cell cycle progression. Thus, our results …

… Gomori’s Trichrome stain shows muscle fibres in red, collagen in green and nuclei in blue/black
(scale bar, 20 μm). (f) A simple hypothesis to explain the generation of separate stimulus-…

… (93) Another interesting peptide, μO§-GVIIJ from Conus geographus, has a unique PTM,
S-cysteinylated cysteine, which makes possible formation of a covalent tether of peptide to its …

… To uncover the mechanism(s) responsible for generating this impressive diversity, we used
an integrated approach combining second-generation transcriptome sequencing with high …

Strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors (GlyRs) mediate synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord,
brainstem, and other regions of the mammalian central nervous system. In this minireview, …

Venoms of snakes, scorpions, spiders, insects, sea anemones, and cone snails are complex
mixtures of mostly peptides and small proteins that have evolved for prey capture and/or …
