Abstract:
:The origin and evolution of venom toxins is a mystery that has evoked much interest. We have recently shown that pseutarin C, a prothrombin activator from Pseudonaja textilis venom, is structurally and functionally similar to mammalian coagulation factor Xa-factor Va complex. Its catalytic subunit is homologous to factor Xa while the nonenzymatic subunit is homologous to factor Va. P. textilis therefore has two parallel prothrombin activator systems: one expressed in its venom gland as a toxin and the other expressed in its liver and released into its plasma as a haemostatic factor. Here we report the complete amino acid sequence of factor V (FV) from its liver determined by cDNA cloning and sequencing. The liver FV shows 96% identity to pseutarin C nonenzymatic subunit. Most of the functional sites involved in its interaction with factor Xa and prothrombin are conserved. However, many potential sites of post-translational modifications and one critical cleavage site for activated protein C are different. The absence of the latter cleavage site makes pseutarin C nonenzymatic subunit resistant to inactivation and enhances its potential as an excellent toxin. By PCR and real-time quantitative analysis, we show that pseutarin C nonenzymatic subunit gene is expressed specifically in the venom gland at approximately 280 fold higher than that of FV gene in liver. These two are thus encoded by two separate genes that express in a highly tissue-specific manner. Our results imply that the gene encoding pseutarin C nonenzymatic subunit was derived by the duplication of plasma FV gene and they have evolved to perform distinct functions.
