Abstract excerpt
Four clones encoding homologous protein(ase)s were isolated from the Vipera lebetina (snake) venom gland cDNA library. One of them represented DNA encoding factor V activating enzyme (Siigur et al., 1999), the other is homologous to VLFVA but has two principal discrepancies in the translated protein sequence in comparison with snake venom serine proteinase structures: in the active site triad Ser195 is replaced...
