General annotation (Comments)

Function

Jararhagin causes hemorrhage. This is the result of the degradation of sub-endothelial matrix proteins leading to the disruption of the blood vessel endothelium, with accompanying disturbances in platelet function. It is able to degrade von Willebrand factor and it hydrolyzes the Aalpha-chain of fibrinogen while leaving the beta and gamma chains unaffected. It inhibits collagen-induced platelet aggregation though the binding of the molecule to the alpha-2 subunit I domain of the platelet surface alpha-2/beta-1 integrin (collagen receptor), and it cleaves the beta-1 subunit of the same integrin, inhibiting platelet interaction and ultimately causing impairment of signal transduction. It has inability to be affected by the plasma inhibitor alpha(2)-macroglobulin. In fibroblasts, it functions as a collagen-mimetic substrate and, in endothelial cells, it causes apoptosis and indirectly inhibits cell proliferation by release of angiostatin-like compounds. It induces a strong pro-inflammatory response characterized by intense leukocyte accumulation and release of cytokines at the site of the injection. Although hemorrhage and edema are a response to the direct effect of this toxin, jararhagin-induced inflammation and necrosis are dependent on macrophages and key pro-inflammatory cytokines or their receptors. It also possesses anti-tumorgenic properties. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.17 Ref.18

The monomer Jararhagin-C inhibits collagen- and ADP-induced platelet aggregation, but has no effect on glycoprotein Ib-IX-dependent platelet agglutination. Locally activates the early events of an acute inflammatory response as leukocyte rolling and pro-inflammatory cytokine release. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.17 Ref.18

Jaracetin is a dimer representing a differently processed form of jararhagin. It may be a dimeric form of Jararhagin-C. It modulates binding of vWF to the glycoprotein Ib-IX complex on platelets through a specific interaction with the vWF A1 domain. It potently induces platelet aggregation in citrated platelet-rich plasma. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.17 Ref.18

Catalytic activity

Cleavage of 10-His-|-Leu-11, 14-Ala-|-Leu-15, 16-Tyr-|-Leu-17 and 24-Phe-|-Phe-25 bonds in insulin B chain. Ref.3

Cofactor

Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by EDTA, 1,10 phenanthroline and batimastat (a peptidomimetic MMP inhibitor). Ref.11 Ref.13

Subunit structure

Monomer (Jararhagin and Jararhagin-C) and dimer (Jaracetin). Ref.6

Subcellular location

Secreted.

Tissue specificity

Expressed by the venom gland.

Post-translational modification

The N-terminus of Jararhagin is blocked.

Miscellaneous

The metalloproteinase domain which is released from the cleavage of jararhagin-C is apparently unstable.

A third form of jararhagin is obtained when the toxin is submitted to in vitro autolysis. The disintegrin-like/cysteine-rich domains appear to be disulfid-linked to a N-terminal portion of the metalloproteinase domain.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the venom metalloproteinase family. P-III subfamily.

Contains 1 disintegrin domain.

Contains 1 peptidase M12B domain.
