Snake Venomics of the Lesser Antillean Pit Vipers Bothrops caribbaeus and Bothrops lanceolatus: Correlation with Toxicological Activities and Immunoreactivity of a Heterologous Antivenom
(2008-10)
The venom proteomes of the snakes Bothrops caribbaeus and Bothrops lanceolatus, endemic to the
Lesser Antillean islands of Saint Lucia and Martinique, respectively, were characterized by reversephase
HPLC fractionation, ...
Isolation and characterization of a serine proteinase with thrombin-like activity from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper
(2008-01)
A serine proteinase with thrombin-like activity was isolated from the venom of the Central American pit viper Bothrops asper. Isolation was performed by a combination of affinity chromatography on aminobenzamidine-Sepharose ...
Isolation and characterization of four medium-size disintegrins from the venoms of Central American viperid snakes of the genera Atropoides, Bothrops, Cerrophidion and Crotalus
(2014-12)
Four disintegrins were isolated from the venoms of the Central American viperid snakes Atropoides mexicanus (atropoimin), Bothrops asper (bothrasperin), Cerrophidion sasai (sasaimin), and Crotalus simus (simusmin). ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
