PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR (TSV-PA) FROM SNAKE VENOM
Overview
BACKGROUND: Trimeresurus stejnejeri venom plasminogen activator (TSV-PA), is a snake venom serine proteinase that specifically activates, plasminogen. Snake venom serine proteinases form a subfamily of, trypsin-like proteinases that are characterised by a high substrate, specificity and resistance to inhibition. Many of these venom enzymes, specifically interfere with haemostatic mechanisms and display a long, circulating half-life. For these reasons several of them have commercial, applications and are potentially attractive pharmacological tools., RESULTS: The crystal structure of TSV-PA has been determined to 2.5 A, resolution and refined to an R factor of 17.8 (R free, 24.4). The enzyme, showing the overall polypeptide fold of trypsin-like serine proteinases, displays unique ... [(full description)]
