Abstract in Portuguese
A proteólise de componentes do plasma e da matriz extracelular é um fator importante no quadro hemorrágico desencadeado pela ação de venenos de serpentes. Neste estudo, avaliamos o papel dos domínios estruturais de metaloproteinases na interação com seus alvos. Ensaios de hidrólise in vitro mostraram que as metaloproteinases HF3 e bothropasina (classe P-III), e BJ-PI (classe P-I) do veneno da Bothrops jararaca, degradaram proteínas plasmáticas (fibrinogênio, fibronectina e vitronectina), além de colágeno VI e Matrigel, mostrando diferentes perfis de hidrólise. Experimentos de N-deglicosilação das proteinases mostraram que suas porções glicosídicas são importantes para a manutenção da integridade de suas estruturas e da atividade proteolítica. E ensaios para avaliar a interação das proteinases e da proteína DC (domínios tipo disintegrina/rico em cisteínas) com alguns substratos protéicos mostraram que além de seus domínios estruturais (catalítico/tipo disintegrina/rico em cisteínas) suas cadeias de carboidratos também são importantes no reconhecimento dos mesmos.

Abstract in English
Proteolysis of plasma and extracellular matrix proteins is a key factor in the local hemorrhage induced by snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs). In this work we evaluated the role of the structural domains of SVMPs in the interaction with their targets. In vitro hydrolysis assays showed that the SVMPs HF3 and bothropasin (P-III class) and BJ-PI (P-I class) from Bothrops jararaca venom degraded plasma proteins (fibrinogen, fibronectin and vitronectin), collagen VI and Matrigel resulting in different hydrolysis profiles. N-deglycosylation of these proteinases showed that their carbohydrate moieties are important for keeping their structural integrity and proteolytic activity. The assays to analyze the interaction of the proteinases and of the DC protein (composed of the disintegrin-like and cysteine-rich domains) with some proteins confirmed that not only the structural domains (catalytic, disintegrin-like and cysteine-rich) but also the sugar moieties are important in the recognition of plasma and extracellular matrix proteins.
