A fibrin(ogen)olytic serine protease from Trimeresurus jerdonii venom was identified and purified to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis homogeneity. It is a single chain polypeptide with a molecular weight of 32kDa under reduced condition and 28kDa under non-reduced condition, respectively. The venom protease catalysed the hydrolysis of some chromogenic substrates such as S2238, S2160, S2302 and S2251. It degraded Bbeta-chain of human fibrinogen preferentially. Also the enzyme degraded fibrin directly. Its enzymatic activity was completely inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), but not affected by EDTA. That suggested it was a serine protease. N-terminal sequence of the purified component showed high homology with other snake venom serine proteases.
从竹叶青蛇毒中鉴定并纯化出一种纤维蛋白(原)溶解丝氨酸蛋白酶,使其达到十二烷基硫酸钠 - 聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳均一性。它是一种单链多肽,在还原条件下分子量为32kDa,在非还原条件下分子量分别为28kDa。该蛇毒蛋白酶催化一些发色底物如S2238、S2160、S2302和S2251的水解。它优先降解人纤维蛋白原的Bβ链。此外,该酶还直接降解纤维蛋白。其酶活性被苯甲基磺酰氟(PMSF)完全抑制,但不受乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)影响。这表明它是一种丝氨酸蛋白酶。纯化组分的N端序列与其他蛇毒丝氨酸蛋白酶具有高度同源性。
