蛇毒金属蛋白酶及去整合素的结构与功能

蛇毒金属蛋白酶是蛇毒主要功能性蛋白质之一,它直接作用于局部组织的毛细血管,影响毛细血管内皮细胞与基底膜之间的相互作用;蛇毒去整合素与蛇毒金属蛋白酶来自共同的前金属蛋白酶原,这些酶原都含有4个共同的结构域:信号肽、前导肽、蛋白酶结构域、间隔区.去整合素因能特异性识别整合素而得名,蛇毒去整合素为低分子量蛋白质,含有多个Cys残基,它能阻断整合素与其配体的结合,抑制整合素介导的细胞与细胞、细胞与细胞外基质之间的黏附反应,在血小板聚集、感染、炎症反应、肿瘤转移等病理过程中发挥重要作用.

Metalloproteinases and disintergrins of snake venom:structures and functions

Snake venom metalloproteinase is one of the main function proteins in snake venom.It directly affects the interactions between capillary endothelium cells and basement membrane in local tissues.Snake venom disintegrin and metalloproteinase are derived from the same pre-pro-metalloproteinase,which contains 4 common structural domains: Pre-domain,Pro-domain,Proteinase domains,and Spacer region.Disintegrin,a low molecular weight protein containing several Cys residues,can block the binding of integrins and their ligands and inhibit adhering reaction(cell to cell and cell to extracellular matrix) mediated by integrin.It also plays a significant role in platelet aggregation,infection,inflammation reaction,tumor metastasis,etc..
