Exploring metalloproteins found in the secretion of venomous species: Biological role and therapeutical applications.
Several species during evolution suffered random mutations in response to various environmental factors, which resulted in the formation of venom in phylogenetically distant species. The composition of the venom of most species is poorly known. Snake venom is well characterized while most species have poorly known composition. In contrast, snake venoms are well characterized which proteins and peptides are the main active and most abundant constituents. 42 protein families have been identified, including metalloproteins known as metalloproteinases. These macromolecules are enzymes with zinc in their active site derived from the disintegrin A and metalloproteinase (ADAM) cellular family and are categorized into three classes (PI, PII and PIII) according to their domain organization. The snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMP) are cytotoxic, neurotoxic, myotoxic and/or hematotoxic with a crucial role in the defense and restraint of prey. In this scenario envenoming represents a danger to human health and has been considered a neglected disease worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical countries. Nevertheless, recently advances in "omics" technologies have demonstrated interesting biological activities of SVMPs such as antimicrobial, anticancer, against cardiovascular diseases and nervous system disorders. Metalloproteins have the therapeutic potential to be converted into drugs as other components of the venom have undergone this process (e.g., captopril, tirefiban and eptifibatide). So, this chapter is focused on the metalloproteins found in the secretions of venomous species, highlight some aspects such as structure, biological activity, pharmacological therapeutic potential and on.
期刊介绍:
Published continuously since 1944, The Advances in Protein Chemistry and Structural Biology series has been the essential resource for protein chemists. Each volume brings forth new information about protocols and analysis of proteins. Each thematically organized volume is guest edited by leading experts in a broad range of protein-related topics.
