  • Title: The purification and amino acid sequence of toxin CM-13b from Naja haje annulifera (Egyptian cobra) venom.
    Author: Joubert FJ.
    Journal: Hoppe Seylers Z Physiol Chem; 1975 Dec; 356(12):1901-8. PubMed ID: 1213685.
    Abstract:
    Toxin CM-13b was purified from the venom of Naja haje annulifera by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50 and by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-cellulose. The toxin comprises 65 amino acid residues and is cross-linked by five disulphide bridges. The complete amino acid sequence of toxin CM-13b was elucidated. The reduced and S-carboxymethylated toxin was digested with trypsin and chymotrypsin and the peptides purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and chromatography or electrophoresis on paper. The amino acid sequences of the intact toxin and its constituent peptides were determined by the Edman-Begg procedure, either through the use of the automatic sequenator or by manual manipulation. The chymotryptic digest provided the necessary overlapping peptides for aligning the tryptic peptides. The primary structure of toxin CM-13b shows a high degree of homology with that of protein S4C11 from Naja melanoleuca venom[1], but their toxicities are very different.
