Abstract

Lataste's viper (Vipera latastei) is a venomous European viper endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, recognised as medically important by the World Health Organization. To date, no comprehensive characterisation of this species' venom has been reported. Here, we analysed the venoms of juvenile and adult specimens of V. latastei from two environmentally different populations from northern Portugal. Using bottom-up venomics, we produced six venom proteomes (three per population) from vipers belonging to both age classes (i.e., two juveniles and four adults), and RP-HPLC profiles of 54 venoms collected from wild specimens. Venoms from juveniles and adults differed in their chromatographic profiles and relative abundances of their toxins, suggesting the occurrence of ontogenetic changes in venom composition. Specifically, snake venom metalloproteinase (SVMP) was the most abundant toxin family in juvenile venoms, while snake venom serine proteinases (SVSPs), phospholipases A (PLAs), and C-type lectin-like (CTLs) proteins were the main toxins comprising adult venoms. The RP-HPLC venom profiles were found to vary significantly between the two sampled localities, indicating geographic variability. Furthermore, the presence/absence of certain peaks in the venom chromatographic profiles appeared to be significantly correlated also to factors like body size and sex of the vipers. Our findings show that V. latastei venom is a variable phenotype. The intraspecific differences we detected in its composition likely mirror changes in the feeding ecology of this species, taking place during different life stages and under different environmental pressures. SIGNIFICANCE: Lataste's viper (Vipera latastei) is a medically important viper endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, inhabiting different habitats and undergoing a marked ontogenetic dietary shift. In the current study, we report the first proteomic analysis of V. latastei venom from two environmentally different localities in northern Portugal. Our bottom-up venomic analyses show that snake venom serine proteinases (SVSPs), phospholipases A2 (PLA2s), and C-type lectin-like (CTLs) proteins are the major components of adult V. latastei venom. The comparative analysis of young and adult venoms suggests the occurrence of ontogenetic shift in toxin abundances, with snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) being the predominant toxins in juvenile venoms. Moreover, geographic venom variation between the two studied populations is also detected, with our statistical analyses suggesting that factors like body size and sex of the vipers are possibly at play in its determination. Our work represents the first assessment of the composition of V. latastei venom, and the first step towards a better understanding of the drivers behind its variability.

摘要

拉塔斯特蝰蛇(Vipera latastei)是一种有毒的欧洲蝰蛇,分布于伊比利亚半岛,被世界卫生组织认为具有重要的医学意义。迄今为止,尚未对该物种的毒液进行全面的特征描述。在这里,我们分析了来自葡萄牙北部两个环境不同的种群的幼年和成年拉塔斯特蝰蛇的毒液。使用自下而上的毒液组学方法,我们从属于两个年龄组的两条毒蛇(即两条幼蛇和四条成年蛇)中产生了六个毒液蛋白质组(每个种群三个),并从野外采集的 54 个毒液样本中获得了 RP-HPLC 图谱。幼蛇和成年蛇的毒液在色谱图谱和毒素的相对丰度上存在差异,表明毒液成分发生了个体发生变化。具体而言,蛇毒金属蛋白酶(SVMP)是幼蛇毒液中最丰富的毒素家族,而蛇毒丝氨酸蛋白酶(SVSPs)、磷脂酶 A(PLAs)和 C 型凝集素样(CTLs)蛋白是成年蛇毒液的主要毒素。发现两种采样地点的 RP-HPLC 毒液图谱差异显著,表明存在地理变异性。此外,毒液色谱图谱中某些峰的存在/缺失似乎也与毒蛇的体型和性别等因素显著相关。我们的研究结果表明,拉塔斯特蝰蛇的毒液是一种可变的表型。我们在其组成中检测到的种内差异可能反映了该物种在不同生活阶段和不同环境压力下发生的摄食生态变化。意义:拉塔斯特蝰蛇(Vipera latastei)是一种具有重要医学意义的伊比利亚半岛特有毒蛇,栖息于不同的生境,并经历了明显的个体发生食性转变。在本研究中,我们报告了来自葡萄牙北部两个环境不同的地方的拉塔斯特蝰蛇毒液的首次蛋白质组学分析。我们的自下而上的毒液组学分析表明,蛇毒丝氨酸蛋白酶(SVSPs)、磷脂酶 A2(PLA2s)和 C 型凝集素样(CTLs)蛋白是成年拉塔斯特蝰蛇毒液的主要成分。幼年和成年毒液的比较分析表明,毒素丰度发生了个体发生变化,蛇毒金属蛋白酶(SVMPs)是幼蛇毒液中的主要毒素。此外,还检测到两个研究种群之间的地理毒液变异,我们的统计分析表明,毒蛇的体型和性别等因素可能在其决定中起作用。我们的工作代表了对拉塔斯特蝰蛇毒液组成的首次评估,也是更好地了解其变异性背后驱动力的第一步。
