MetabolomicsOrganic and Peptidyl Constituents of Snake Venoms: The Picture Is Vastly More Complex Than We Imagined
Small metabolites and peptides in 17 snake venoms (Elapidae, Viperinae, and Crotalinae), were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Each venom contains >900 metabolites and peptides. Many small organic compounds are present at levels that are probably significant in prey envenoma...

ProteomicsSaddleback caterpillar venom proteomics
Limacodidae is a family of lepidopteran insects comprising more than 1,500 species, over half of which produce pain-inducing defensive venom components in the larval stage, but little is known about their venom. Recently, we characterised proteinaceous toxins from the Australian limacodid caterpilla...

ProteomicsPhoneutria nigriventer venom profiling using high-throughput ion channel screen and structural venomics reveals highly complex composition and novel neuroactive peptides
Spider venoms are a unique source of bioactive peptides displaying remarkable structural stability and potent neuroactivity. Phoneutria nigriventer, often referred to as Brazilian wandering spider, banana spider or “armed” spider, is endemic from South America and amongst the most dangerous venomous...

ProteomicsTetraponera aethiops venom peptidome
In the mutualisms involving certain pseudomyrmicine ants and different myrmecophytes (i.e., plants sheltering colonies of specialized “plant-ant” species in hollow structures), the ant venom contributes to the host plant biotic defenses by inducing the rapid paralysis of defoliating insects and caus...

ProteomicsVenom composition of the ant Tetraponera rufonigra reveals insights into the evolution of dimeric ant venom peptides
The majority of ant species are venomous, and in most lineages, peptide toxins dominate venom composition. Here we investigated the venom of the ant Tetraponera rufonigra (subfamily Pseudomyrmecinae). The major active component, Tr1a, is a homodimeric peptide that is cytolytic, activates mammalian s...

ProteomicsTaxon-specific toxicity and composition of venom produced by araneophagous white-tailed spiders (Lamponidae: Lampona sp.)
Prey-specialised spiders are adapted to capture specific prey items, including dangerous prey such as ants, termites or other spiders. It has been observed that the venoms of specialists are often prey-specific and less complex than those of generalists, but venom composition has not been studied in...

ProteomicsVenom proteome of the limacodid caterpillar Doratifera vulnerans
Caterpillars of moths in the family Limacodidae produce pain-inducing defensive venoms that have evolved independently to previously characterised lepidopteran venoms, but their composition and mechanism of action are unknown. Here, we examine the limacodid venom system using the species Doratifera ...

ProteomicsMultiple Evolutionary Mechanisms Underlie the Venom Composition of the Green Lacewing
Venom has independently evolved across many lineages, yet relatively few have been studied in detail, particularly among insects. Of these, Neuroptera (lacewings, antlions and relatives) remain largely unexplored, despite being widespread with agriculturally important groups such as green lacewings....

ProteomicsMass spectrometry of Manica rubida venom
In the present study, the venom peptidome of the red ant, Manica rubida, was characterized using an integrated transcriptomic and proteomic approach. In addition, insecticidal assays on C18 reversed-phase HPLC venom fractions were conducted on Lucilia caesar blowflies to identify neurotoxic peptides...
