'Partitagin' a hemorrhagic metalloprotease from Hippasa partita spider venom: role in tissue necrosis.
The poisonous bite by Hippasa partita, a funnel web spider from the Indian subcontinent has been demonstrated to give rise to severe dermo- and myonecrosis. In this work a hemorrhagic metalloprotease, Partitagin was purified from H. partita venom by successive chromatography on Sephadex G-100, DEAE Sephadex A-50 and Biosep DEAE columns. SDS-PAGE, reversed phase HPLC on a C(4) column, N-terminal...
متن کاملHippasa agelenoides spider venom gland extract exhibits myotoxic , fibrino ( gen ) lytic and platelet agregation inhibitory properties
The present study explores the biochemical and pharmacological examination of H. agelenoides spider venom gland extract for the proteolytic activity and along with other pharmacological properties. The venom gland extract hydrolyzed casein, the proteolytic activity was further confirmed by the activity staining on casein zymogram. The venom gland extract showed two translucent activity bands on...
متن کاملIdentification and purification of an irreversible presynaptic neurotoxin from the venom of the spider Hololena curta.
A search for potent toxins that inhibit neuronal calcium channels in Drosophila melanogaster has resulted in the identification of a presynaptic neurotoxin from the venom of the hunting spider Hololena curta. Using Drosophila neuromuscular junction as an assay, presynaptic inhibitory activity was purified using gel filtration and reverse-phase HPLC. Data from gel electrophoresis indicate that t...
متن کاملA Novel Neurotoxin from Venom of the Spider, Brachypelma albopilosum
Spiders have evolved highly selective toxins for insects. There are many insecticidal neurotoxins in spider venoms. Although a large amount of work has been done to focus on neurotoxicity of spider components, little information, which is related with effects of spider toxins on tumor cell proliferation and cytotoxicity, is available for Brachypelma albopilosum venom. In this work, a novel spid...
متن کاملIdentification and Purification of BS413 Neurotoxin from Iranian Scorpion (Buthotus Schach) Venom
Introduction: Scorpion venoms contain a variety of peptides, toxic to mammals، insects and crustaceans and are the main factors in scorpion venom toxicity (their amount being 1-3% of total venom). Most of the scorpion toxins have been isolated from the venoms of scorpions in the Buthidae family. The scorpion Buthotus Schach of this family is widely found in the western regions of Iran, but no p...
