Identification of crotasin, a crotamine-related gene of Crotalus durissus terri...
Rádis-Baptista, Gandhi; Kubob, T.; Oguiura, Nancy; Prieto da Silva, A.R.B.; Hayashid, M.A.F.; Oliveirae, E.B.; Yamane, T.Crotamine is a cationic peptide (4.9 kDa, pI 9.5) of South American rattlesnake, Crotalus durissus terrificus’ venom. Its presence varies according to the subspecies or the geographical locality of a given species. At the genomic level, we observed the presence of 1.8 kb gene, Crt-p1, in crotamine-positive specimens and its absence in crotamine-negative ones. In this work, we described a crotamine-related 2.5 k...
Crotacetin, a novel snake venom c-type lectin, is homolog of convulxin
Rádis-Baptista, Gandhi; Moreno, F. B. M. B.; Nogueira, L. L.; Martins, A. M. C.; Tomaya, D. O; Tomaya, M. H; Azevedo Júnior, W. F.; Cavada, B. S.Snake venom (sv) C-type lectins encompass a group of hemorrhagic toxins, which are able to interfere with hemostasis. They share significant similarity in their primary structures with C-type lectins of other animals, and also present a conserved carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD). A very well studied sv C-type lectin is the heterodimeric toxin, convulxin (CVX), from the venoms of South American rattlesnakes...
Nucleotide sequence of crotamine isoform precursors from a single South America...
Rádis-Baptista, Gandhi; Oguiura, Nancy; Hayashi, M.A.F.; Camargoc, M.E.; Gregod, K.F.; Oliveira, E.B.; Yamane, T.A cDNA phage library was constructed from venom glands of a single adult specimen of crotamine-plus Crotalus durissus terri®cus (South American rattlesnake) captured in a known region. Fifteen crotamine positive clones were isolated using a PCR-based screening protocol and sequenced. These complete cDNAs clones were grouped for maximal alignment into six distinct nucleotide sequences. The crotamine cDNAs, with ...
