Amino acid sequence of a myotoxin from venom of the eastern diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus).

Author:	Y Samejima; Y Aoki; D Mebs
Edition/Format:	Article : English
Publication:	Toxicon : official journal of the International Society on Toxinology, 1991; 29(4-5): 461-8
Database:	From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Summary:	The complete amino acid sequence of a myotoxin isolated from Crotalus adamanteus venom (CAM-toxin) was determined. The total number of amino acid residues was 45, giving a mol. wt of 5202. The amino acid sequence was compared with those of previously determined Crotalus myotoxins. The CAM-toxin shows a surprisingly close relationship to those of peptide c (C. v. helleri), myotoxin a (C. v. viridis), crotamine (C. d. terrificus), myotoxin I and II (C. v. concolor) with homologies of approximately 98, 83, 90, 95 and 91%, respectively. The hydropathy profile of the CAM-toxin is almost identical to peptide c and myotoxin I, as can be assumed from the sequence homology. Despite the absence of any close sequence homology with the myotoxic phospholipase A2 enzymes, CAM-toxin contains a similar cationic myotoxic region at residues 2-10 as found in the other five myotoxic peptides.  Read more...
