A distinct sodium channel voltage-sensor locus determines insect selectivity of the spider toxin Dc1a

β-Diguetoxin-Dc1a (Dc1a) is a toxin from the desert bush spider Diguetia canities that incapacitates insects at concentrations that are non-toxic to mammals. Dc1a promotes opening of German cockroach voltage-gated sodium (Na(v)) channels (BgNa(v)1), whereas human Na(v) channels are insensitive. Here...
