Ancient Diversification of Three-Finger Toxins in Micrurus Coral Snakes.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jan 2018

Dashevsky Daniel, Fry Bryan G

Abstract excerpt

Coral snakes, most notably the genus Micrurus, are the only terrestrial elapid snakes in the Americas. Elapid venoms are generally known for their potent neurotoxicity which is usually caused by Three-Finger Toxin (3FTx) proteins. These toxins can have a wide array of functions that have been characterized from the venom of other elapids. We examined publicly available sequences from Micrurus 3FTx to show that...
