Rogalski A, Himaya S, Lewis R
Nat Commun . 2023 Jun; 14(1):3287. PMID: 37311767
Marine cone snails have attracted researchers from all disciplines but early life stages have received limited attention due to difficulties accessing or rearing juvenile specimens. Here, we document the culture...

Himaya S, Arkhipov A, Yum W, Lewis R
Mar Drugs . 2022 Mar; 20(3). PMID: 35323508
Cone snail venom biodiversity reflects dietary preference and predatory and defensive envenomation strategies across the ≈900 species of . To better understand the mechanisms of adaptive radiations in closely related...

Himaya S, Jin A, Hamilton B, Rai S, Alewood P, Lewis R
Sci Rep . 2021 Jun; 11(1):13282. PMID: 34168165
The venom duct origins of predatory and defensive venoms has not been studied for hook-and-line fish hunting cone snails despite the pharmacological importance of their venoms. To better understand the...

Wang D, Himaya S, Giacomotto J, Hasan M, Cardoso F, Ragnarsson L, et al.
Mar Drugs . 2020 Jul; 18(7). PMID: 32629781
The 27-amino acid (aa)-long d-conotoxin TxVIA, originally isolated from the mollusc-hunting cone snail , slows voltage-gated sodium (Na) channel inactivation in molluscan neurons, but its mammalian ion channel targets remain...

Jin A, Muttenthaler M, Dutertre S, Himaya S, Kaas Q, Craik D, et al.
Chem Rev . 2019 Oct; 119(21):11510-11549. PMID: 31633928
The venom of the marine predatory cone snails (genus ) has evolved for prey capture and defense, providing the basis for survival and rapid diversification of the now estimated 750+...

Himaya S, Lewis R
Int J Mol Sci . 2018 Mar; 19(3). PMID: 29522462
Cone snail venoms are considered a treasure trove of bioactive peptides. Despite over 800 species of cone snails being known, each producing over 1000 venom peptides, only about 150 unique...

Himaya S, Mari F, Lewis R
Sci Rep . 2018 Jan; 8(1):330. PMID: 29321522
Cone snail venoms have separately evolved for predation and defense. Despite remarkable inter- and intra-species variability, defined sets of synergistic venom peptides (cabals) are considered essential for prey capture by...

Larsson M, Laczka O, Harwood D, Lewis R, Himaya S, Murray S, et al.
Mar Drugs . 2018 Jan; 16(1). PMID: 29301247
Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CFP) is a human illness caused by the consumption of marine fish contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTX) and possibly maitotoxins (MTX), produced by species from the benthic dinoflagellate...

Himaya S, Jin A, Dutertre S, Giacomotto J, Mohialdeen H, Vetter I, et al.
J Proteome Res . 2015 Sep; 14(10):4372-81. PMID: 26322961
Venomous marine cone snails produce a unique and remarkably diverse range of venom peptides (conotoxins and conopeptides) that have proven to be invaluable as pharmacological probes and leads to new...

Zhang C, Zhang T, Song E, Himaya S, Chen X, Zheng L
Cancer Biother Radiopharm . 2014 Nov; 29(10):451-6. PMID: 25409460
As a highly conserved housekeeping gene, the biological implications of ribosomal protein S15A (RPS15A) during various processes, including carcinogenesis, remain elusive. Herein, the authors reported that knockdown of RPS15A expression...
