英文摘要A number of inactive serine protease homologues (SPHs), which have poorly understood functions, have been identified in invertebrates and vertebrates. Recently, several SPH transcripts have been reported from snake venom glands, which provide potential new tools for the study of the functions of SPHs. Herein we report for the first time a snake venom serine protease homologue (svSPH) protein, designated as TjsvSPH, isolated from the venom of Tilmeresurus jerdonii. Despite its high sequence similarity to snake venom serine proteases (SVSPs), TjsvSPH is devoid of arginine esterase and proteolytic activity. This is probably due to the replacement of Arg-43 by His-43 in the catalytic triad. TjsvSPH did not influence the coagulation time of human plasma, induce human platelet aggregation, inhibit adenosine diphosphate/thrombin-induced human platelet aggregation or increase capillary permeability. Phylogenetic analysis showed that svSPHs were separated from SVSPs and formed an independent group. Structural analysis revealed that the structures of svSPHs are quite different from those of SPHs previously reported. These results indicate that snake venoms contain a unique group of svSPH proteins. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
