 Abstract: Argiotoxin, a component of the spider venom from Argiope lobata, blocks AMPA receptor channels expressed in homomeric and heteromeric configuration in Xenopus oocytes. Argiotoxin acts as an open channel blocker in a voltage-dependent manner and discriminates between the functionally diverse AMPA receptors. Importantly, a transmembrane region 2 determinant for divalent cation permeability also determines argiotoxin sensitivity. Subunit-specific differences in the time courses of block and recovery demonstrate that heteromeric AMPA receptors can assemble in variable ratios. Thus, argiotoxin can be used as a tool in analyzing the subunit composition of AMPA receptors in native membranes.
