== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PA2A_BOTJR PA2A_BOTJR] Snake venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) that induces edema (activity that is inhibited by EDTA and dexamethasone), inhibits phospholipid-dependent collagen/ADP-induced platelet aggregation, possess hypotensive as well as anticoagulant activities. In addition, this enzyme shows bactericidal activity against E.coli and S.aureus. PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides.<ref>PMID:12167491</ref> <ref>PMID:15214498</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The electrophile Ca(2+) is an essential multifunctional co-factor in the phospholipase A(2) mediated hydrolysis of phospholipids. Crystal structures of an acidic phospholipase A(2) from the venom of Bothrops jararacussu have been determined both in the Ca(2+) free and bound states at 0.97 and 1.60 A resolutions, respectively. In the Ca(2+) bound state, the Ca(2+) ion is penta-coordinated by a distorted pyramidal cage of oxygen and nitrogen atoms that is significantly different to that observed in structures of other Group I/II phospholipases A(2). In the absence of Ca(2+), a water molecule occupies the position of the Ca(2+) ion and the side chain of Asp49 and the calcium-binding loop adopts a different conformation.
