Resumen
The complete amino acid sequence of bothropstoxin-II (BthTX-II), a myotoxin isolated from Bothrops jararacussu snake venom, is reported. The results show that BthTX-II is an Asp-49 phospholipase A2 (PLA2)-like protein composed of a single polypeptide chain of 120 amino acid residues (Mr = 13,976), containing one methionine and 14 half-cystines. Despite a high degree of homology with other PLA2's and the presence of the strategic residues known to compose the Ca2+-binding loop, namely Tyr-28, Gly-30, Gly-32, and especially Asp-49, besides His-48, Tyr-52, and Asp-99, all of them directly or indirectly involved in catalysis, BthTX-II revealed a very low PLA2 activity when assayed on egg yolk phosphatidylcholine. We attribute this low catalytic activity to the existence of extra mutations, e.g., Trp-5 for Phe-5, which points to the need of considering other strategic positions, since only Lys-49 PLA2's have been considered to be devoid of this enzymatic activity. © 1998 Plenum Publishing Corporation. 17 4 381 386 Arni, R.K., Ward, R.J., Phospholipase a2 - A structural review (1996) Toxicon, 34, pp. 827-841 Cintra, A.C.O., Marangoni, S., Oliveira, B., Giglio, J.R., Bothropstoxin-I: Amino acid sequence and function (1993) J.
