Synergism of the two subunits of crotoxin

Toxicon, 1982
Crotoxin, a potent neurotoxin from the venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus, is composed of an acidic subunit which is non-toxic and enzymatically inactive and a basic subunit which possesses a phospholipase activity and low toxicity. It is shown that crotoxin very efficiently blocks the cholinergic post-synaptic response of the isolated electroplaque

Crotoxin induces aggregation of human washed platelets

open access: yesToxicon, 1994
Crotoxin, the main toxic component isolated from the venom of the South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus terrificus, is a reversible protein complex composed of a non-toxic non-enzymatic acidic polypeptide (crotapotin) and a toxic basic phospholipase A2 (PLA2).

Influence of temperature upon effects of crotoxin and gamma-irradiated crotoxin at rat neuromuscular transmission

open access: yesToxicology Letters, 2000
The influence of temperature upon the effects of crotoxin (CTX), from Crotalus durissus terrificus venom, and gamma-irradiated (60Co, 2000 Gy) crotoxin (iCTX) was studied in rat neuromuscular transmission 'in vitro'. Indirect twitches were evoked in the phrenic-diaphragm preparation by supramaximal strength pulses with a duration of 0.5 ms and ...

Cytotoxicity of crotoxin on murine erythroleukemia cellsin vitro

Investigational New Drugs, 1993
The cytotoxic effect of crotoxin, a heterodimeric phospholipase A2 from the venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus, was examined on murine erythroleukemia cells in vitro. Crotoxin cytocidal effect on cell growth had an EC50 of approximately 0.1-0.2 microM (3.0-5.0 micrograms/ml) in serum-free medium.

Crotoxin acceptor protein isolated from Torpedo electric organ: binding properties to crotoxin by surface plasmon resonance

Toxicon, 2003
Crotoxin, a potent neurotoxin from the South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus terrificus, is a heterodimeric phospholipase A(2) (EC 3.1.1.4), which blocks the release of acetylcholine from peripheral neurons. We previously have suggested the existence of a 48 kDa crotoxin-binding protein in the presynaptic membranes of the electric organ of ...

The mechanism of inhibition of phospholipase activity of crotoxin B by crotoxin A

Toxicon, 1983
In the crotoxin complex isolated from Crotalus durissus terrificus venom, the component A inhibits the phospholipase A2 activity of crotoxin B only when the substrate is in the aggregated form, preventing the interaction of the enzyme with lecithin--water interfaces.
