چکیده
Adinbitor was cloned from Agkistrodon halys brevicaudus stejneger and characterized as a novel disintegrin. In this study, total RNA was extracted from venom gland and used in RT-PCR to generate a cDNA which is 219 bp long. The sequence encoded a polypeptide composed of 73 amino acids, including 12 cysteines, an RGD motif, and the signature motif of disintergrin. Recombinant Adinbitor (rAdinbitor) was expressed in E. coli and purified by using the His. Bind affinity chromatography. The IC(50) for inhibiting human platelet aggregation and bFGF-induced proliferation of ECV304 cells was 6 microM and 0.89 microM respectively. Furthermore, Adinbitor significantly inhibited angiogenesis both in vivo and in vitro. Taken together, these results suggested that Adinbitor had typical functions of disintegrins.

Background & Aims: In recent years, the feasibility of hydrophilic nanoparticles has been broadly investigated for use in drug delivery and therapeutic systems. Due to the problems of traditional adjuvants, in this study Agkistrodon halys (Ah) Snake venom was loaded in chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) in order to be used as an advanced adjuvant and antigen delivery system in ant...
متن کاملPurification and Partial Characterization of a Thrombin-Like Enzyme (AH144) from Venom of Iranian Snake Agkistrodon Halys
The snake venom´s thrombin-like enzymes comprise a number of serine proteases, which are functionally and structurally related to thrombin. Purification and partial characterization of a thrombin-like enzyme from the venom of the Iranian snake, Agkistrodon halys, was the aim of this study. Purification was carried out by a combination of variety of chromatographic methods that included: gel...
متن کاملPURIFICATION AND PARTIAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A COAGULANT SERINE PROTEASE FROM THE VENOM OF THE IRANIAN SNAKE Agkistrodon halys
Agkistrodon halys is one of several dangerous snake species in Iran. Among the most important signs and symptoms in patients envenomated by this snake is disseminated intravascular coagulation. A thrombin-like enzyme, called AH143, was isolated from Agkistrodon halys venom by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-50 column, ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Sepharose and high performance liquid ch...
متن کاملCloning of cDNAs and molecular characterisation of C-type lectin-like proteins from snake venoms.
C-type lectin-like proteins (CTLPs) isolated from snake venoms are the largest and most complex non-mammalian vertebrate C-type lectin-like domain family. In the present study, we simultaneously amplified four cDNAs encoding different types of CTLP subunits from the venoms of two different species of snakes by RT-PCR with a single sense primer and a nested universal primer - two CTLP subunit-en...
متن کاملProteomic characterization of two snake venoms: Naja naja atra and Agkistrodon halys.
Snake venom is a complex mixture of proteins and peptides, and a number of studies have described the biological properties of several venomous proteins. Nevertheless, a complete proteomic profile of venom from any of the many species of snake is not available. Proteomics now makes it possible to globally identify proteins from a complex mixture. To assess the venom proteomic profiles from Naja...
