Halysin, an antiplatelet Arg-Gly-Asp-containing snake venom peptide, as fibrinogen receptor antagonist.

Abstract：

:By means of Sephadex G-75 and CM-Sephadex C-50 column chromatography and reverse-phase HPLC, a low molecular weight (Mr = 7500), cysteine-rich peptide, halysin, was purified from Agkistrodon halys (mamushi) snake venom. Halysin is a potent platelet aggregation inhibitor that concentration-dependently inhibited human platelet aggregation stimulated by ADP, thrombin and collagen (IC50 = 0.16 to 0.36 microM) without affecting platelet secretion. It was active in inhibiting platelet aggregation of platelet-rich plasma and whole blood. Halysin had no effect on thromboxane B2 formation of platelets or intracellular Ca2+ mobilization of Quin 2-AM loaded platelets stimulated by thrombin. It inhibited the fibrinogen-induced aggregation of elastase-treated platelets. Halysin concentration-dependently inhibited the 125I-fibrinogen binding to ADP-stimulated platelets in a competitive manner (IC50 = 0.16 microM). 125I-Halysin bound to resting platelets (Kd = 1.6 x 10(-7) M) and to ADP-stimulated platelets (Kd = 3.4 x 10(-8) M) in a saturable manner. EDTA, the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing snake venom peptides trigamin and rhodostomin, Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS), and Gly-Gln-Gln-His-His-Leu-Gly-Gly-Ala-Lys-Gln-Ala-Gly-Asp-Val blocked both 125I-fibrinogen binding and 125I-halysin binding to ADP-stimulated platelets. The monoclonal antibody, 7E3, raised against glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex blocked both 125I-fibrinogen and 125I-halysin binding, whereas 10E5 had no significant effect on halysin binding to ADP-stimulated platelets, indicating that 7E3 and halysin bind to an epitope which is different from that of 10E5. RGDS concentration-dependently inhibited 125I-halysin binding in a competitive manner. We determined the primary structure of halysin which is a single peptide chain of 71 amino acid residues. An RGD sequence appeared in the carboxy-terminal domain of halysin. Halysin showed about an 85% identical sequence with trigamin which is a specific antagonist of fibrinogen receptor associated with glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex. In conclusion, halysin inhibited platelet aggregation by interfering with fibrinogen binding to the fibrinogen receptor of the activated platelets. The RGD sequence of halysin plays an important role in the expression of its biological activity.
