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
