Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a relação entre estrutura e função dos domínios não catalíticos do HF3, uma metaloproteínase da classe P-III do veneno da Bothrops jararaca com atividades hemorrágica e pró-inflamatória. Mostramos que proteínas recombinantes contendo o domínio rico em cisteínas (domínios tipo-disintegrina/rico em cisteínas, DC, e domínio rico em cisteínas, C) são capazes de aumentar o rolamento de leucócitos na microcirculação e de inibir a agregação plaquetária induzida pelo colágeno. Por outro lado, a proteína D e a proteína DC contendo a mutação Asp/Ala no motif Glu-Cys-Asp não apresentaram estas atividades. Peptídeos derivados da região hiper variável (HVR) do domínio rico em cisteínas também promoveram o rolamento de leucócitos, sendo esta atividade foi inibida por anticorpos anti-aMb2, e ainda inibiram a agregação plaquetária. Em conjunto, estes resultados sugerem que o domínio rico em cisteínas do HF3 e sua HVR desempenham um papel em sua atividade pró-inflamatória mediada pela integrina aMb2, e na inibição da agregação plaquetária.

Abstract in English
This aim of this study was analyze the relationship between structure and function of the non-catalytic domains of HF3, a hemorrhagic and pro-inflammatory metalloproteinase of the P-III class, from Bothrops jararaca venom. Here we show that recombinant proteins of HF3 containing the cysteine-rich domain (disintegrin-like/cysteine rich and cysteine-rich proteins) but not the disintegrin-like protein and a disintegrin-like/cysteine rich protein carrying the mutation Asp/Ala in the Glu-Cys-Asp motif were able to significantly increase leukocyte rolling in the microcirculation and to inhibit collagen-induced platelet aggregation. Peptides from the hyper variable region (HVR) of the cysteine-rich domain also promoted leukocyte rolling and this activity was inhibited by anti-aMb2 antibodies. HVR peptides also inhibited platelet-aggregation. Taken together, these results suggest that the cysteine- rich domain of HF3 and its HVR play a role in triggering pro-inflammatory effects mediated by integrin aM/b2 and in the inhibition of platelet-aggregation.
