چکیده انگلیسی
Many toxins from viperid venoms have been characterised as powerful activators of platelets. Here, the venom from the East African Lowland viper, Proatheris superciliaris, was investigated for its effect on platelets and the coagulation system. Whole P. superciliaris venom stimulated platelet shape change and aggregation; however, the stimulation of platelet activation was unaffected by the structurally distinct Src family kinase inhibitors PP1 and PD0173952, suggesting that platelet activation was mediated by a G protein-coupled receptor. A platelet reactive 34-kDa protein was isolated from P. superciliaris venom which we have designated proatherocytin. This protein induced Src kinase-independent aggregation of both human and mouse platelets that was inhibited by the serine protease inhibitor AEBSF. Proatherocytin did not clot bovine or human fibrinogen, degrade fibrinogen or hydrolyse the serine protease substrate benzoyl-FVR-pNA. It activated human PAR1 on stably transfected rat kidney epithelial cells, whereas no activation of the trypsin receptor PAR2 was shown. Surprisingly, Edman degradation of proatherocytin revealed sequence identity with existing disintegrin-like domains of snake venom metalloproteinases. These results suggest that proatherocytin is a highly selective PAR1 agonist that also causes mouse platelet aggregation, probably through cleavage of PAR4.
