Localization of Myotoxin I and Myotoxin II From the Venom of Bothrops Asper in a Murine Model
Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) and PLA2-like proteins are significant components of snake venoms. Some of these proteins act as potent toxins causing muscle necrosis, which may lead to amputation in severe envenomings. Fundamental aspects of the mechanism of action of these toxins are still not completely known.

Structural, Biological and Biochemical Studies of MyotoxinaAnd Homologous Myotoxins
Journal of Toxicology: Toxin Reviews, 1997AbstractMyotoxin a and a group of closely related, small, basic toxins cause myonecrotic destruction of muscle tissue upon envenomation. The sarcoplasmic reticulum swells and eventually breaks down to small vesicles. Degeneration of myofibrils and myofilaments ensues and loss of the classic striation pattern is apparent.

Binding of myotoxin a to cultured muscle cells
Toxicon, 1993The binding of radiolabeled myotoxin a to various cultured cell lines was evaluated. One rat skeletal muscle-derived cell line, L8, bound substantially more myotoxin a than did all all other cell lines examined. Several biophysical parameters of myotoxin a-L8 binding were determined. Binding was saturable with a moderate binding affinity.

A basic myotoxic protein was purified from Bothrops asper venom. Like other basic Bothrops myotoxins, myotoxin IV induces acute muscle damage after intramuscular injection in mice and disrupts negatively charged liposomes but not positively charged ones.

Similarities and differences in mechanisms of cardiotoxins, melittin and other myotoxins
Toxicon, 1996Myonecrosis induced in vivo by cardiotoxin, melittin, and Asp49 and Lys49 phospholipase A2 (PLA2) myotoxins involves rapid lysis of the sarcolemma, myofibril clumping, and hypercontraction of sarcomeres. In contrast, skeletal muscle necrosis induced by crotamine and myotoxin a is much slower, consisting of mitochondrial and sarcoplasmic reticulum ...
