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.
