STRUCTURE OF PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 FROM DABOIA RUSSELLI PULCHELLA AT 1.95
Structural highlights
Function[PA2B8_DABRR] Snake venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) that shows weak neurotoxicity and medium anticoagulant effects by binding to factor Xa (F10) and inhibiting the prothrombinase activity (IC(50) is 130 nM) (PubMed:18062812). It also damages vital organs such as lung, liver and kidney, displays edema-inducing activities when injected into the foot pads of mice and induces necrosis of muscle cells when injected into the thigh muscle. Has a low enzymatic activity. PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides.[1] [2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe crystal structure of phospholipase A(2) from the venom of Daboia russelli pulchella has been refined to an R factor of 0.216 using 17,922 reflections to 1.9 A resolution. The structure contains two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The overall conformations of the two molecules are essentially the same except for three regions, namely the calcium-binding loop including Trp31, the beta-wing and the C-terminal residues 119-131. Although these differences have apparently been caused by molecular packing, they seem to have functional relevance. Particularly noteworthy is the conformation of Trp31, which is favourable for substrate binding in one molecule as it is aligned with one of the side walls of the hydrophobic channel, whereas in the other molecule it is located at the mouth of the channel, thereby blocking the entry of substrates leading to loss of activity. This feature is unique to the present structure and does not occur in the dimers and trimers of other PLA(2)s.
