Background
Heterodimeric phospholipase A2 from venom glands of Tunisian scorpion Scorpio maurus (Sm-PLGV) had been purified. It contains long and short chains linked by a disulfide bridge. Sm-PLGV exhibits hemolytic activity towards human erythrocytes and interacts with phospholipid monolayers at high surface pressure. The investigation of structure-function relationships should provide new clues to understand its activity.Methods
Molecular cloning of Sm-PLGV and heterologous expression in Escherichia coli of three recombinant forms was used to determine the role of the short chain on enzymatic activity. Infrared spectroscopy assisted 3D model building of the three recombinant constructs (phospholipases with and without the penta-peptide and Long chain only) allowed us to propose an explanation of the differences in specific activities and their interaction with various phospholipids.Results
Nucleotide sequence of Sm-PLGV encodes 129 residues corresponding to the Long chain, the penta-peptide and the short chain. Although recombinant phospholipases without and with the penta-peptide have different specific activities, they display a similar substrate specificity on various phospholipid monolayers and similar bell-shaped activity profiles with maxima at high surface pressure. The absence of the short chain reduces significantly enzymatic and hemolytic activities. The 3D models pointed to an interaction of the short chain with the catalytic residues, what might explain the difference in activities of our constructs.Conclusion
Infrared spectroscopy data and 3D modeling confirm the experimental findings that highlight the importance of the short chain for the Sm-PLGV activity.General significance
New informations are given to further establish the structure-function relationships of the Sm-PLGV. 相似文献2.

The present study was carried out to investigate potassium bromate toxicity in mice and the corrective effects of marine algae Alsidium corallinum. The red algae demonstrated its rich composition in phenols, triterpenes, flavonoids, alkaloids, tropolones, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, and zinc. To confirm its antioxidant potential, an in vivo study was performed on adult mice. The animals were divided into four groups: group I were used as controls, group II received potassium bromate (0.5 g/L) via drinking water, group III received potassium bromate (0.5 g/L) by the same route as group II and 7 % of A. corallinum ethanolic extract via their diet, and group IV received only 7 % of algae. The potassium bromate-treated group showed a significant decrease in erythrocyte, platelet, hemoglobin, and hematocrit values and a significant increase in total white blood cells, compared to those of controls. While, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, and vitamin C values were decreased by potassium bromate treatment, lipid peroxidation (as malondialdehyde) and erythrocyte osmotic fragility values were increased. Interestingly, potassium bromate treatment showed significant genotoxic effects, as demonstrated by DNA degradation. These changes were confirmed by blood smears histopathological observations which were marked by a necrosis and a decrease of erythrocytes number. A. corallinum extract appeared to be effective against hematotoxic and genotoxic changes induced by potassium bromate, as evidenced by the improvement of the parameters cited above. 相似文献

A mesophilic bacterial culture, producing an extracellular alkaline lipase, was isolated from the gas-washing wastewaters generated from the Sfax phosphate plant of the Tunisian Chemical Group and identified as Staphylococcus capitis strain. The lipase, named S. capitis lipase (SCL), has been purified to homogeneity from the culture medium. The purified enzyme molecular weight was around 45 kDa. Specific activities about 3,900 and 500 U/mg were measured using tributyrin and olive oil emulsion as substrates, respectively at 37°C and pH 8.5. Interestingly, the SCL maintained more than 60% of its initial activity over a wide pH values ranging from 5 to 11 with a high stability between pH 9 and 11 after 1 hr of incubation at room temperature. The lipase activity was enhanced in the presence of 2 mM of Mg2+, Ca2+, and K+. SCL showed significant stability in the presence of detergents and organic solvents. Altogether, these features make the SCL useful for industrial applications. Besides, SCL was compatible with commercially available detergents, and its incorporation increases lipid degradation performances making it a potential candidate in detergent formulation. 相似文献
