Accepted: July 28, 2018 Data deposition: Raw RNA seq data: SRA database: project number SRP139515 (SRR6983161-SRR6983169) Abstract The transcriptome of the venom duct of the Atlantic piscivorous cone species Chelyconus ermineus (Born, 1778) was determined. The venom repertoire of this species includes at least 378 conotoxin precursors, which could be ascribed to 33 known and 22 new (unassigned) protein superfamilies, respectively. Most abundant superfamilies were T, W, O1, M, O2, and Z, accounting for 57% of all detected diversity. A total of three individuals were sequenced showing considerable intraspecific variation: each individual had many exclusive conotoxin precursors, and only 20% of all inferred mature peptides were common to all individuals. Three different regions (distal, medium, and proximal with respect to the venom bulb) of the venom duct were analyzed independently. Diversity (in terms of number of distinct members) of conotoxin precursor superfamilies increased toward the distal region whereas transcripts detected toward the proximal region showed higher expression levels.

We report here the first conotoxin that is able to inhibit the growth of M. tuberculosis at a concentration similar to that of two other drugs that are currently used in clinics. Furthermore, it is also the first conopeptide that has been isolated from the venom of Conasprella ximenes. The venom gland transcriptome of C. ximenes was sequenced to construct a database with 24,284 non-redundant transcripts. The conopeptide was purified from the venom using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and was analyzed using electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS).

  • Ilha Da Boa Vista
    boatime ILHA DA BOA VISTA Boa Vista é uma ilha do grupo de Barlavento de Cabo Verde. De todas as 10 ilhas do arquipélago, é a situada mais a leste, distando apenas 500 Km da costa Africana. A sua superfície, de 620 Km2, torna- a a terceira maior ilha do país, depois de Santiago e Santo Antão. Tem cerca de 31 Km de norte a sul e 29 Km de leste para oeste. A maior povoação da ilha é a cidade de Sal Rei, com cerca de 12.000 habitantes. Boa Vista é conhecida por ter as mais extensas praias de todo o arquipélago, razão pela qual atraiu, mais recentemente, investidores e operadores turísticos, registando já várias unidades hoteleiras de qualidade superior. No entanto, há alternativas para quem queira fugir à massificação turística e percorrer os caminhos alternativos de uma oferta cada vez maior. Destinos não faltam, como Espingueira, uma antiga aldeia de pescadores por muito tempo abandonada à erosão do tempo, salva de suas memórias e das vetustas paredes por empreendimento de hotelaria ecológica que, aos poucos, a vem recuperando parcialmente. Ou, então, se quiser avançar mais para norte, aguarda-o Fundo das Figueiras, uma aldeia com ruas sombreadas por arbustos de hibiscos e buganvílias. A diversidade cromática das casas de rés-do- chão é ressalvada pelos tons vivos das paredes e persianas que parecem, assim, receber os passantes com abraços de boas vindas. A austera igreja é, a par das casas bem cuidadas e coloridas, um ex libris de Fundo das Figueiras que, na proximidade, oferece, para deleite dos viajantes, um restaurante onde a gastronomia da terra pode ser apreciada e descansadas as pernas da caminhada.

Yet, for centuries Portuguese colonial officials leagued with plantation owners to prohibit Cabo Verdeans from owning fishing craft and other vessels to prevent the escape of slaves, mutinous soldiers, exiled criminals, and political depor­ tees. Denied the bounty of the sea ,md afflicted by multi-year droughts, tens of thousands of destitute people perished during famines. Cabo Verde during Portuguese rule was a gulag.4 I I am grateful to Christopher Fyfe, Deirdre tvleinrel. and Joseph c. Miller for comment­ ing on a preliminarv draft.
