Resumen:
We report protein sequences from lipolitic fractions of venom of Bothrops diporus, a viper from Argentina known as Yarará Chica. We have previously cloned two phospholipases and produce them via heterologous expression and subsequent renaturation (1). By similarity and identity to public database sequences, we classified these as type A2 (PLA2). In the present work we used conventional chromatographic techniques coupled to MALDI-TOF-TOF mass spectrometry analysis to prove the existence at the protein level of the cloned sequences and portions of new PLA2 isospecies. Along this work we also found a lectin dimer for which it is proposed the disulfide intermolecular connectivity
