Spiders and scorpions are efficient predators arachnid (PA) consuming preys larger than themselves. Few studies reported, molecularly, the digestion in PA. This work describes a biochemical, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of the midgut and midgut glands (MMG) and digestive juice (DJ) from Nephilengys cruentata and Tityus serrulatus MMG. Cathepsin L, B, D and F, legumain, trypsin, astacin, carbohydrases and lipases were identified by these approaches. Peptide isomerase and ctenitoxins, which are venom proteins were identified, showing a correlation among digestive and venom enzymes. Summarily, PA relies in multi peptidase system mainly constituted of astacins for extracellular prey liquefaction and cathepsin L for intracellular digest...
