[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PA2B_VIPAE PA2B_VIPAE]] Heterodimer: postsynaptic neurotoxin. Monomer: snake venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) that shows hemolytic activity and inhibition of platelet aggregation. The hemolytic activity occurs only in presence of fatty acids (unsaturated fatty acids facilitate induce a strong hemolytic activity, whereas saturated fatty acids induce a slight activity). The inhibition of platelet aggregation is almost maximal when aggregation is induced by collagen, and arachidonic acid, whereas it is only of 30% when the aggregation is induced by ADP. PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

The inhibition of phospholipase A(2)s (PLA(2)s) is of pharmacological and therapeutic interest because these enzymes are involved in several inflammatory diseases. Elaidoylamide is a powerful inhibitor of a neurotoxic PLA(2) from the Vipera ammodytes meridionalis venom. The X-ray structure of the enzyme-inhibitor complex reveals a new mode of Asp49 PLA(2) inhibition by a fatty acid hydrocarbon chain. The structure contains two identical homodimers in the asymmetric unit. In each dimer one subunit is rotated by 180 degrees with respect to the other and the two molecules are oriented head-to-tail. One molecule of elaidoylamide is bound simultaneously to the substrate binding sites of two associated neurotoxic phospholipase A(2) molecules. The inhibitor binds symmetrically to the hydrophobic channels of the two monomers. The structure can be used to design anti-inflammatory drugs.
