AG 489 (or agatoxin 489) is a component of the venom produced by Agelenopsis aperta,[1] a North American funnel web spider. It inhibits the ligand gated ion channel TRPV1 through a pore blocking mechanism.[2]
To identify new inhibitors, capsaicin receptor channels (TRPV1) were screened from a venom library for activity against these channels. In result, the robust inhibitory activity was found in the venom. Venom fractionation utilizing a reversed phase HPLC [2] which led to the purification of the two acylpolyamine toxins, AG489 and AG505. Both of these inhibit the TRPV1 channels [3] from the extracellular membrane side. From the pore blocking mechanism, the pore mutations that change toxic affinity were identified. As a result, the four mutants decreased toxic affinity and several mutants increased it. Therefore, this was consistent with the scanned TM5-TM6 linker region [4] being the outer vestibule of the channels and further confirming that AG489 is a pore blocker.
