Peptide Synthesis> | … All inserts were sequenced using a Model 3500 Genetic Analyzer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). 4.5. Synthesis and Biological Activities of Pilosulin-Like Peptides. Pilosulin-like peptides 1–6 were prepared using Fmoc chemistry by GenScript (Nanjing, Jiangsu … | Get A Quote |
We previously identified 92 toxin-like peptides and proteins, including pilosulin-like peptides 1⁻6 from the predatory ant , by transcriptome analysis. Here, to further characterize venom components, we analyzed the venom and venom sac extract by ESI-MS/MS with or without trypsin digestion and reducing agent. As the low-molecular-mass components, we found amino acids (leucine/isoleucine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan) and biogenic amines (histamine and tyramine) in the venom and venom sac extract. As the higher molecular mass components, we found peptides and proteins such as pilosulin-like peptides, phospholipase A₂s, hyaluronidase, venom dipeptidyl peptidases, conotoxin-like peptid... More
