The earless monitor lizard Lanthanotus borneensis – a venomous animal?

Mebs, Dietrich; Lomonte, Bruno; Fernández Ulate, Julián; Calvete Chornet, Juan José; Mahlov, Kristin; Müller, Johannes; Köhler, Gunther; Zollweg, Michael (2021)

Based on its mandibular gland secretion, the earless monitor lizard, Lanthanotus borneensis, has been considered a venomous animal like other members of the Toxicofera group, including Heloderma. In the present study, the ...

Comparative proteomic analysis of the venom of the taipan snake, Oxyuranus scutellatus, from Papua New Guinea and Australia: Role of neurotoxic and procoagulant effects in venom toxicity

The venom proteomes of populations of the highly venomous taipan snake, Oxyuranus scutellatus, from Australia and Papua New Guinea (PNG), were characterized by reverse-phase HPLC fractionation, followed by analysis of ...

Combined venomics, venom gland transcriptomics, bioactivities, and antivenomics of two Bothrops jararaca populations from geographic isolated regions within the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest

Gonçalves Machado, Larissa; Pla Ferrer, Davinia; Sanz, Libia; Jorge, Roberta Jeane B.; Leitão De Araújo, Moema; Alves, Maria Lúcia M.; Alvares, Diego Janisch; De Miranda, Joari; Nowatzki, Jenifer; de Morais Zani, Karen; Fernandes, Wilson; Tanaka Azevedo, Anita Mitico; Fernández Ulate, Julián; Zingali, Russolina B.; Gutiérrez, José María; Corrêa Netto, Carlos; Calvete Chornet, Juan José (2016-03-01)

Bothrops jararaca is a slender and semi-arboreal medically relevant pit viper species endemic to tropical and subtropical forests in southern Brazil, Paraguay, and northern Argentina (Misiones). Within its geographic range, ...

Venomic and antivenomic analyses of the Central American coral snake, Micrurus nigrocinctus (Elapidae)

Fernández Ulate, Julián; Alape Girón, Alberto; Angulo Ugalde, Yamileth; Sanz, Libia; Gutiérrez, José María; Calvete Chornet, Juan José; Lomonte, Bruno (2011-01-31)

The proteome of the venom of Micrurus nigrocinctus (Central American coral snake) was analyzed by a “venomics” approach. Nearly 50 venom peaks were resolved by RP-HPLC, revealing a complex protein composition. Comparative ...

Snake venomics of Micrurus alleni and Micrurus mosquitensis from the Caribbean region of Costa Rica reveals two divergent compositional patterns in New World elapids

Fernández Ulate, Julián; Vargas Vargas, Nancy; Pla Ferrer, Davinia; Sasa Marín, Mahmood; Rey Suárez, Paola; Sanz, Libia; Gutiérrez, José María; Calvete Chornet, Juan José; Lomonte, Bruno (2015-12-01)

Protein composition, toxicity, and neutralization of the venoms of Micrurus alleni and Micrurus mosquitensis, two sympatric monadal coral snakes found in humid environments of the Caribbean region of Costa Rica, were ...

Venomics of the poorly studied hognosed pitvipers Porthidium arcosae and Porthidium volcanicum

Ruiz Campos, Marco; Sanz, Libia; Bonilla Murillo, Fabián; Sasa Marín, Mahmood; Lomonte, Bruno; Zaruma Torres, Fausto Leonardo; Terán Zavala, María Del Carmen; Fernández Ulate, Julián; Calvete Chornet, Juan José; Caldeira, Cleópatra A. S.; da Silva, Saulo Luís (2021)

We report the first proteomics analyses of the venoms of two poorly studied snakes, the Manabi hognosed pitviper Porthidium arcosae endemic to the western coastal province of Manabí (Ecuador), and the Costa Rican hognosed ...

We report the comparative proteomic characterization of the venoms of two related neotropical arboreal pitvipers from Costa Rica of the genus Bothriechis, B. lateralis (side-striped palm pit viper) and B. schlegelii (eyelash ...

Isolation of an acidic phospholipase A2 from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper of Costa Rica: Biochemical and toxicological characterization

Fernández Ulate, Julián; Gutiérrez, José María; Angulo Ugalde, Yamileth; Sanz, Libia; Juárez, Paula; Calvete Chornet, Juan José; Lomonte, Bruno (2010-03)

Phospholipases A2 (PLA2) are major components of snake venoms, exerting a variety of relevant toxic actions such as neurotoxicity and myotoxicity, among others. Since the majority of toxic PLA2s are basic proteins, acidic ...
