The Multiprotein bridge factor 2 (MBF2) gene was first identified as a coactivator involved in BmFTZ-F 1-mediated activation of the Fushi tarazu gene. Herein, nine homologous genes of MBF2 gene are identified. Evolu...
Tarantula venoms provide a model system for studying toxin selectivity, structure-activity relationships and molecular evolution ofpeptide toxins. Previous studies have identified a large number of peptide toxins in t...
