A new neurotoxin, named α-pompilidotoxin (α-PMTX) has been found in the venom of the solitary wasp Anoplius safnariensis. In the neuromuscular synapse of the lobster walking leg preparation, α-PMTX (10-100 μM) caused great enhancement of both the excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials. Recordings of the excitatory post synaptic currents (EPSCs) at the synaptic sites showed that α-PMTX reversibly and dose-dependently potentiates EPSCs. α-PMTX may act primarily on the presynaptic membrane but the mode of action of the toxin is clearly different from other known facilitatory neurotoxins, such as α-latrotoxin, apamin or charybdotoxin. This novel toxin will serve as a useful tool in the research field of neuroscience.
