To elute peptides following solutions were used per each spot: In order to identify the toxin types present, digested gel spots and digested whole venom shotgun samples were processed using an Agilent Brisbane, Australia Zorbax stable bond C18 column 2.

MS2 spectra are acquired at a rate of 20 scans per second with a cycle time of 2. The isotopes within 2 Da were excluded for MS2. MS2 spectra were searched against known translated transcriptome libraries or UniProt database with Proteinpilot v4. This was done to maximize the identification of protein sequences. Spectra were inspected manually to eliminate false positives.

Due to the limited amount of previously available proteomic data, these results significantly contribute to our understanding of helodermatid lizard venoms. This suggesting that their venoms experienced a diversifying selection pressure different from that often governs the evolution of venom in other squamate reptiles such as snakes which display significant differences in the types of proteins expressed, even at low taxonomical levels. This variation pattern is likely a consequence of the fact that all helodermatid lizards intrinsically occupy the same ecological niche and thus feed upon the similar prey items.

However, the discovery of novel components represents an exciting opportunity for biodiscovery and reinforces the basic premise that poorly investigated venomous lineages represent untapped resources of molecules with potential for utilization in drug design and development.

Abstract Research into snake venoms has revealed extensive variation at all taxonomic levels. Introduction There are five extant species of helodermatid lizards: The helokinestatin peptides are antagonists of bradykinin at the B2 bradykinin receptor. Open in a separate window. Results and Discussion Shotgun sequencing recovered toxin types previously known from the Heloderma venom proteome: Table 2 Relative toxin molecular evolutionary rates.

Shotgun Sequencing In order to identify low molecular weight peptides that do not resolve well on 1D or 2D gels, shotgun sequencing was used. One-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis In order to compare venom proteomes between species, 1D gradient gels were run under both reducing and non-reducing conditions using the manufacturer BioRad, Brisbane, Australia protocol. Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis In order to further investigate the proteomics variation, particularly that of isoelectric variation, 2D gels were run.

Conclusions Due to the limited amount of previously available proteomic data, these results significantly contribute to our understanding of helodermatid lizard venoms.
