Molecular properties of the Factor V-activating enzyme from Russell's viper venom.
Authors:W Kisiel
Abstract:The protease from Russell's viper venom that activates Factor V was purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 and ion exchange column chromatography on sulfopropyl (SP)-Sephadex C-50. The purified enzyme is a glycoprotein containing 6% carbohydrate. It migrated as a single band in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with an apparent molecular weight of 29,000. A minimum molecular weight of 27,200 was determined by sedimentation equilibrium in the presence of 6 M guanidine hydrochloride. The enzyme is composed of a single polypeptide chain possessing an NH2-terminal sequence of Val-Val-Gly-Gly-Asp-Glu-Cys-Asn-Ile-Asn-Glu-His-Pro-Ile. The specific activity of the Factor V activator toward tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester and D-phenylalanyl-L-pipecolyl-L-arginyl-p-nitroanilide was 380 and 11 nmol/min/mg, respectively. The esterase and coagulant activities of the enzyme were readily inhibited by diisopropyl fluorophosphate. The enzyme was not inhibited by bovine antithrombin III in the presence or absence of heparin. The amino acid and carbohydrate compositions of the enzyme are also reported.
