- W1490603915 abstract "The prothrombin activator present in the venom of the mainland tiger snake (Notechis scutatus scutatus) was purified to homogeneity by gel chromatography on Sephadex G-200 followed by ion-exchange chromatography on SP-Sephadex. The venom activator has an apparent molecular weight of 54,000. It consists of a heavy chain (Mr = 32,000) and a light chain (Mr = 23,000) held together by one or more disulfide bridges. The active site is located at the heavy chain region of the molecule. The venom activator contains 8 gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues/molecule. Gel electrophoretic analysis of prothrombin activation indicates that the venom activator is capable of cleaving both the Arg 274-Thr 275 and Arg 323-Ile 324 bonds of bovine prothrombin. The order of bond cleavage appears to be random since prethrombin-2 and meizothrombin occur as intermediates during prothrombin activation. Prothrombin activation by the venom activator alone is very slow. This is explained by the unfavorable kinetic parameters for the reaction (Km for prothrombin = 105 microM, Vmax = 0.0025 nmol of prothrombin activated per min/microgram of venom activator). Phospholipids plus Ca2+ and Factor Va greatly stimulate venom-catalyzed prothrombin activation. In the presence of 50 microM phospholipid vesicles composed of 20 mol % phosphatidylserine and 80 mol % phosphatidylcholine, the Km drops to 0.2 microM, whereas there is hardly any effect on the Vmax. Factor Va causes a 3,500-fold increase of the Vmax (8.35 nmol of prothrombin activated per min/microgram of venom activator) and a 10-fold decrease of the Km (9.5 microM). The most favorable kinetic parameters are observed in the presence of both 50 microM phospholipid and Factor Va (Km = 0.16 microM, Vmax = 27.9 nmol of prothrombin activated per min/microgram of venom activator). These changes of the kinetic parameters explain the stimulatory effects of Factor Va and phospholipid on venom-catalyzed prothrombin activation. The venom activator slowly converts the Factor Xa-specific chromogenic substrates CH3SO2-D-leucyl-glycyl-L-arginine-p-nitroanilide and N-benzoyl-L-isoleucyl-L-glutamyl-(piperidyl)-glycyl-L-arginyl-p-nitroani lide hydrochloride. Factor Va causes a 7-fold stimulation of chromogenic substrate conversion by the venom activator. This stimulation appears to be the result of the formation of a tight 1:1 complex between the venom activator and Factor Va." @default.
