General annotation (Comments)

Function

Snake prothrombin activator that attacks the hemostatic system of prey. This catalytic subunit is functionally similar to blood coagulation factor Xa. It requires a non-catalytic subunit present in the venom, which is similar to coagulation factor Va, to be fully active. Ref.4

Catalytic activity

Selective cleavage of Arg-|-Thr and then Arg-|-Ile bonds in prothrombin to form thrombin. Ref.4

Enzyme regulation

Activated by calcium and negatively charged phospholipids. Ref.4

Subunit structure

Heterodimer of a light and a heavy chains; disulfide-linked. Is associated with pseutarin-C non-catalytic subunit in a non-covalent manner. Ref.4 Ref.5

Subcellular location

Secreted Ref.4 Ref.5.

Tissue specificity

Expressed by the venom gland. Ref.4 Ref.5

Post-translational modification

Gamma-carboxyglutamate residues are formed by vitamin K dependent carboxylation. These residues are essential for the binding of calcium.

Toxic dose

Intravenous injection (23 µg/kg bodyweight) of the group C prothrombin activator causes death in rats through disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (Ref.5), whereas pseutarin-C is not lethal even at 10 mg/kg in mice when injected intraperitoneally (Ref.1).

Miscellaneous

Is classified in the group C of snake venom prothrombin activators, since it does not require the mammalian factor Va for the cleavage of prothrombin as the venom contains its own non-catalytic factor Va-like molecule.

In contrast to blood coagulation factors that circulate as inactive zymogen in plasma, venom prothrombin activators are always found in the active form in the venom. Hence, catalytic and non-catalytic subunits are found naturally in venom as stable complexes.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.

Contains 2 EGF-like domains.

Contains 1 Gla (gamma-carboxy-glutamate) domain.

Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain.
