Abstract

A phospholipase A2 (VRV PL-VI) from V. russelli venom was purified to homogeneity in a single step on CM-Sephadex C-25 column. VRV PL-VI is a basic protein with a mol. weight �12,000 and showed a basic pH optimum (7.3-8.0) and a high temperature optimum (75°). It hydrolyzed purified phospholipids in the order of phosphatidylethanolamine \textgreater phosphatidylcholine � phosphatidylserine \textgreater phosphatidylinositol = 0. LD50 (i.p.) is 3.5 μg/g in mice. The phospholipase A2 induces persistent edema in the mouse foot pad.
