General annotation (Comments)

Function

The vipoxin complex shows postsynaptic neurotoxicity. Phospholipase A2 inhibitor inhibits the phospholipase A2 of vipoxin (up to 60%) and also the phospholipases A2 from other snake venoms (15%-20%).

Cofactor

Binds 1 calcium ion per subunit By similarity.

Subunit structure

The main toxin of this snake venom is vipoxin, a complex of a toxic basic protein (B chain) having phospholipase A2 activity and a nontoxic acidic protein (A chain) functioning as its inhibitor. Without the inhibitor, the basic protein becomes unstable and within 12-14 days loses its enzymatic activity.

Subcellular location

Secreted.

Tissue specificity

Expressed by the venom gland.

Miscellaneous

The supposed calcium binding region close to Asp-48 of the basic phospholipase A2 is blocked by the side chain of Lys-60 of its inhibitor.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family. Group II subfamily.

Caution

The tryptic peptide in position 54-60 was incorrectly assigned to be after what is now position 83.
