Amino acid sequence of Trimeresurus flavoviridis phospholipase A2
Abstract
The amino acid sequence of phospholipase A2 from the venom of Trimeresurus flavoviridis (the Habu snake) was determined. The enzyme subunit has a molecular weight of 13,764 and consists of a single polypeptide chain of 122 amino acids and seven disulfide bonds. The fragmentation was conducted by digesting the reduced and S-carboxymethylated derivative of the protein with Achromobacter protease I, chymotrypsin, and trypsin, respectively. Achromobacter protease I peptides were used for alignment and to establish overlaps over chymotryptic and tryptic peptides. The automated Edman degradation of the S-carboxymethylated protein, which was extended to the N-terminal 30 amino acid residues, supplemented the deletions found with the enzymatic peptides alone. T. flavoviridis phospholipase A2 was found to be highly (65-67%) homologous in sequence to the enzymes from T. okinavensis, Crotalus adamanteus, and Crotalus atrox (viperid family) and less (35-44%) homologous to those from elapid snakes and mammalian pancreas. The T. flavoviridis enzyme appears to be similar in secondary structure composition to the C. atrox enzyme.
