Huwentoxin-I (HWTX-I) is the highest content peptidic neurotoxin in the crude venom of spider Selenocosmia huwena. This toxin blocks the nerve-muscle conduction of isolated phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm preparation reversibly, with the action site in the presynaptic membrane. In order to further investigate the action mechanism of HWTX-I, the present work optimized the experimental conditions for the biotin labeling of HWTX-I and used the site-selectively biotinylated toxin to affinity purify and identify its receptor proteins from the plasma membrane in rat phrenic nerve-diaphragm synapses. The experiments demonstrated that when the biotinylation reagent reacted with HWTX-I at a molar ratio of 2 : 1 on ice for 2 h, most HWTX-I molecules were labeled by a single biotin group, with a yield of 57%. Tandem mass spectrometry and electrophysiological experiments indicated that the single biotin labeling occurred at the Lys13 residue of HWTX-I and this biotinylation did not significantly affect the bioactivity of HWTX-I. After the affinity purified protein fraction was ultrafiltered, digested with trypsin and analyzed by CapLC-MS/MS, several membrane proteins including voltage-gated calcium channel proteins that HWTX-I potentially interacted with were identified and their roles in the action mechanism of HWTX-I were discussed.
