Novel catalytically-inactive PII metalloproteinases from a viperid snake venom with substitutions in the canonical zinc-binding motif
(2016-10-12)
Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) play key biological roles in prey immobilization
and digestion. The majority of these activities depend on the hydrolysis of relevant protein substrates
in the tissues. Hereby, we ...
Tissue Localization and Extracellular Matrix Degradation by PI, PII and PIII Snake Venom Metalloproteinases: Clues on the Mechanisms of Venom-Induced Hemorrhage
(2015-04-24)
Snake venom hemorrhagic metalloproteinases (SVMPs) of the PI, PII and PIII classes were
compared in terms of tissue localization and their ability to hydrolyze basement membrane
components in vivo, as well as by a ...
Understanding structural and functional aspects of PII snake venom metalloproteinases: Characterization of BlatH1, a hemorrhagic dimeric enzyme from the venom of Bothriechis lateralis
(2014-06)
A new homodimeric PII metalloproteinase, named BlatH1, was purified from the venom of the Central American arboreal viperid snake Bothriechis lateralis by a combination of anion-exchange chromatography, hydrophobic interaction ...
