Tyr→Trp-substituted peptide 115-129 of a Lys49 phospholipase A2 expresses enhanced membrane-damaging activities and reproduces its in vivo myotoxic effect
(1999)
Myotoxin II is a group II Lys49 phospholipase A2 (PLA2) isolated from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper. Previous
studies on a synthetic peptide derived from its heparin-binding, cationic/hydrophobic sequence 115^129 ...
Synthetic peptides derived from the C-terminal region of Lys49 phospholipase A2 homologues from Viperidae snake venoms: biomimetic activities and potential applications
(2010)
Lys49-phospholipase A2 homologues constitute a large family of toxins present in the venoms of viperid snake species, which
despite lacking catalytic activity, cause significant skeletal muscle necrosis. The main structural ...
Antimicrobial activity of myotoxic phospholipases A2 from crotalid snake venoms and synthetic peptide variants derived from their C-terminal region
(2005)
A short peptide derived from the C-terminal region of Bothrops asper myotoxin II, a Lys49 phospholipase A2 (PLA2), was
previously found to reproduce the bactericidal activity of its parent molecule. In this study, a panel ...
