The complete amino acid sequence the haemorrhagic agent LHFII, a Zn and Ca containing metalloproteinase isolated from the venom of the Bushmaster snake Lachesis muta muta was determined by automated and DABITC/PITC microsequencing of the intact protein, fragments derived by cleavage with cyanogen bromide, and peptides resulting from enzymatic digestions with trypsin and the protease from S. aureus V8. The protein is composed of 200 residues and exhibits considerable sequence homology with the haemorrhagic toxins from a number of other snake venoms, and some metalloproteinases in the region of the putative Zn-binding sites.

D003435 Crotalid Venoms Venoms from snakes of the subfamily Crotalinae or pit vipers, found mostly in the Americas. They include the rattlesnake, cottonmouth, fer-de-lance, bushmaster, and American copperhead. Their venoms contain nontoxic proteins, cardio-, hemo-, cyto-, and neurotoxins, and many enzymes, especially phospholipases A. Many of the toxins have been characterized.

D015032 Zinc A metallic element of atomic number 30 and atomic weight 65.38. It is a necessary trace element in the diet, forming an essential part of many enzymes, and playing an important role in protein synthesis and in cell division. Zinc deficiency is associated with ANEMIA, short stature, HYPOGONADISM, impaired WOUND HEALING, and geophagia. It is known by the symbol Zn.
D016415 Sequence Alignment The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.
