An acidic proteolytic enzyme, RVVX, was purified from Vipera russelli venom by successive chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-25, DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-100 columns. RVVX is a glycoprotein with a mol. wt of 79,000. It exhibited caseinolytic and factor X activating properties. Two trypsin inhibitors, TI-I and TI-II, were purified from V. russelli venom in a single step by CM-Sephadex C-25 column chromatography. The trypsin inhibitors interacted with the proteolytic enzyme RVVX. TI-I inhibited only the factor X activating property of RVVX while TI-II inhibited both, the caseinolytic and also factor X activating properties of RVVX. The edema inducing activity of RVVX increased markedly in the presence of non-edema inducing doses of TI-I and TI-II. RVVX, TI-I and TI-II were non-lethal in mice. The combination of RVVX and TI-II demonstrated enhanced toxicity.
一种酸性蛋白水解酶RVVX,通过在CM - Sephadex C - 25、DEAE - 纤维素和Sephadex G - 100柱上连续色谱法从圆斑蝰蛇毒中纯化得到。RVVX是一种分子量为79,000的糖蛋白。它具有酪蛋白水解活性和激活因子X的特性。两种胰蛋白酶抑制剂TI - I和TI - II,通过CM - Sephadex C - 25柱色谱法一步从圆斑蝰蛇毒中纯化得到。这些胰蛋白酶抑制剂与蛋白水解酶RVVX相互作用。TI - I仅抑制RVVX的因子X激活特性,而TI - II则同时抑制RVVX的酪蛋白水解活性和因子X激活特性。在非致水肿剂量的TI - I和TI - II存在下,RVVX的致水肿活性显著增加。RVVX、TI - I和TI - II对小鼠无致死性。RVVX与TI - II的组合表现出增强的毒性。
