Antiplatelet and anticoagulant activities of two phospholipase A2s purified from Cerastes cerastes venom: Structure-function relationship.
Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology 2018 September 22
This study aimed to elucidate anticoagulant/antiplatelet mechanisms of two previously purified PLA2 s from Cerastes cerastes venom, here, termed Cc1 -PLA2 and Cc2 -PLA2 . Both PLA2 s present close molecular weights of 13,534 and 13,430 Da and Isoectric pH (pI) 7.38 and 7.86 respectively, for Cc1 -PLA2 and Cc2 -PLA2 . These Ca2+ -dependent enzymes showed a high catalytic activity upon phospholipids, inducing indirect hemolysis, since they conserve the catalytic domain of PLA2 s 26 CYCGWGGKG34 . They exhibited dual inhibition of platelet aggregation by targeting P2 Y12 and TPα receptors preventing Adenosine diphosphate/arachidonate binding and blood clotting. These effects are due to the interaction of Cc1 -PLA2 s/Cc2 -PLA2 s with factor FXa through a noncatalytic PL-independent mechanism leading to nonreleased thrombin. Both proteins consist of 120 amino acid residues and share similar three-dimensional structures close to other SV-PLA2 s. Structural data of PLA2 s allowed the relevant residues involved in binding to FXa and platelet receptors. These findings may lead to the design of novel noncompetitive FXa inhibitors.
