Huwentoxin XVI(HWTX-XVI ) is composed of 39 amino acid residues including six cysteines. HWTX-XVI is a novel neurotoxin from the venom of Chinese tarantula O. huwena. and specificially block N-type calcium channels. [1]
N-type calcium channels are often highly expressed both in dorsal root ganglia cell bodies and in the synaptic terminals projecting to dorsal horn of the spinal cord N-type calcium channels play important roles in the control of neurotransmission release and transmission of pain signals to the central nervous system.[2]
Electrophysiological assay indicated that HWTX-XVI specifically inhibited N-type calcium channels in rat dorsal root ganglion cells. HWTX-XVI specifically inhibits GVIA sensitive, N-type calcium channels in rat DRG cells.[1]
HWTX-XVI could almost completely block the twitch response of rat vas deferens to low-frequency electrical stimulation. HWTX-XVI ‘s analgesic effects, non-toxic and complete reversibility make it an interesting tool for developing novel drugs for the treatment of N-type calcium channel-related diseases.[1,2]

Huwentoxin-XVI, an analgesic, highly reversible mammalian N-type calcium channel antagonist from Chinese tarantula Ornithoctonus huwena.[Pubmed:24467846]
Neuropharmacology. 2014 Apr;79:657-67.
N-type calcium channels play important roles in the control of neurotransmission release and transmission of pain signals to the central nervous system. Their selective inhibitors are believed to be potential drugs for treating chronic pain. In this study, a novel neurotoxin named Huwentoxin-XVI (HWTX-XVI) specific for N-type calcium channels was purified and characterized from the venom of Chinese tarantula Ornithoctonus huwena. HWTX-XVI is composed of 39 amino acid residues including six cysteines that constitute three disulfide bridges. HWTX-XVI could almost completely block the twitch response of rat vas deferens to low-frequency electrical stimulation. Electrophysiological assay indicated that HWTX-XVI specifically inhibited N-type calcium channels in rat dorsal root ganglion cells (IC50 approximately 60 nM). The inhibitory effect of HWTX-XVI on N-type calcium channel currents was dose-dependent and similar to that of CTx-GVIA and CTx-MVIIA. However, the three peptides exhibited markedly different degrees of reversibility after block. The toxin had no effect on voltage-gated T-type calcium channels, potassium channels or sodium channels. Intraperitoneal injection of the toxin HWTX-XVI to rats elicited significant analgesic responses to formalin-induced inflammation pain. Toxin treatment also changed withdrawal latency in hot plate tests. Intriguingly, we found that intramuscular injection of the toxin reduced mechanical allodynia induced by incisional injury in Von Frey test. Thus, our findings suggest that the analgesic potency of HWTX-XVI and its greater reversibility could contribute to the design of a novel potential analgesic agent with high potency and low side effects.
Venomics of the spider Ornithoctonus huwena based on transcriptomic versus proteomic analysis.[Pubmed:20403776]
Comp Biochem Physiol Part D Genomics Proteomics. 2010 Jun;5(2):81-8.
The spider Ornithoctonus huwena is a venomous spider found in southern China. Its venom is a complex mixture of numerous biologically active components. In this study, 41 novel unique transcripts encoding cellular proteins or other possible venom components were generated from the previously constructed cDNA library. These proteins were also annotated by KOG (eukaryotic orthologous group) and GO (gene ontology) terms. A novel cellular transcript contig encoding an EF-hand protein (named HWEFHP1) was found, which might be involved in the secretion of toxins in the venom glands. In order to have an overview of the molecular diversity of the O. huwena venom, the datasets of all the transcripts, peptides and proteins known so far were analyzed. A comparison of the data obtained through a proteomic versus a transcriptomic approach, revealed that only 15 putative cystine knot toxins (CKTs) were identified by both approaches, 29 transcripts coding for CKTs were found in the transcriptome but not as translated peptides in the venom proteome. However, no cellular protein with identical molecular weight was identified by both approaches. Our data may contribute to a deeper understanding of the biology and ecology of O. huwena and the relationship between structure and function of individual toxins.
