  • Title: Purification of a proteinase (Ac5-proteinase) and characterization of hemorrhagic toxins from the venom of the hundred-pace snake (Agkistrodon acutus).
    Author: Mori N, Nikai T, Sugihara H.
    Journal: Toxicon; 1984; 22(3):451-61. PubMed ID: 6433514.
    Abstract:
    Ac5-Proteinase (15.2 mg) was isolated from Agkistrodon acutus venom (1 g) by column chromatography on Sephadex G-75, CM-Sephadex C-50 and CM-Cellulose. Ac5-Proteinase was homogeneous by disc electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel at pH 4.3 and also by SDS-disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Ac1-, Ac2-, Ac3- and Ac5-proteinases possessed lethal and hemorrhagic activities, but Ac4-proteinase had no lethal activity. These activities were inhibited completely by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 1,10-phenanthroline or cysteine. The molecular weights of Ac1-, Ac2-, Ac3-, Ac4- and Ac5-proteinases were approximately 24,500, 25,000, 57,000, 33,000 and 24,000, respectively. Ac1-, Ac2-, Ac4- and Ac5-proteinases did not contain any carbohydrates, but Ac3-proteinase contained 0.1% carbohydrate by weight.
