General description

Mastoparan-7 is an analog of the mastoparan peptide. It is present in the venom of Vespula lewisii. It was originally isolated from wasp venom.

Application

Mastoparan-7 has been used to study mastoparan-stimulated nucleotide binding to G proteins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mastoparan-7 (Mas-7) stimulates the G protein subunit Gαo/i by its mode of action (to bind to the plasma membrane). It possesses antiviral activity and is associated with histamine release from mast cells. It is also involved in the induction of potent mitochondrial permeability and tumor cell cytotoxicity.

Analysis Note

More potent analog of mastoparan.

Three BODIPY GTPgammaS analogs (FL, 515, and TR), BODIPY FL GppNHp and BODIPY FL GTP molecules were synthesized as possible fluorescent probes to study guanine nucleotide binding spectroscopically. Binding to G(alphao) increases baseline analog fluorescence by 6-, 8.5-, 2.8-, 3.5-

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) transduce their signals through trimeric G proteins, inducing guanine nucleotide exchange on their Galpha-subunits; the resulting Galpha-GTP transmits the signal further inside the cell. GoLoco domains present in many proteins play important roles in multiple trimeric

Mastoparan-7 (Mas-7), an analogue of the peptide mastoparan, which is derived from wasp venom, is a direct activator of Pertussis toxin- (PTX-) sensitive G proteins. Mas-7 produces several biological effects in different cell types; however, little is known about how

The wasp venom, mastoparan (MP), is a direct activator of reconstituted pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins and of purified nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK) [E.C. 2.6.4.6.]. In HL-60 membranes, MP activates high-affinity GTPase [E.C. 3.6.1.-] and NDPK-catalyzed GTP formation, but not photolabeling of
