Brucellosis is a bacterial disease of animals and humans. Brucella abortus
barely activates the innate immune system at the onset of infection, and this
bacterium is resistant to the microbicidal action of complement. ...
Structure of myotoxin-II, a catalytically inactive Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologue from Atropoides nummifer venom
(2006)
Lys49 snake-venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) homologues are highly myotoxic
proteins which, although lacking catalytic activity, possess the ability to disrupt
biological membranes, inducing significant muscle-tissue loss ...
Identification of the myotoxic site of the Lys49 phospholipase A2 from Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus snake venom: synthetic C-terminal peptides from Lys49, but not from Asp49 myotoxins, exert membrane-damaging activities
(2001)
Group II phospholipase A2 (PLA2) myotoxins found in the venoms of Crotalidae snakes can be divided into `Asp49' and
