Vesicle-associated Membrane Protein (VAMP) Cleavage by a New Metalloprotease from the Brazilian Scorpion Tityus serrulatus

JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY, 285(10), 7405–7416.

MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Animals; Guinea Pigs; Immunohistochemistry; Metalloproteases / metabolism; Metalloproteases / ultrastructure; Models, Molecular; Molecular Sequence Data; Pancreas, Exocrine / anatomy & histology; Pancreas, Exocrine / metabolism; Protein Conformation; Protein Isoforms / metabolism; R-SNARE Proteins / metabolism; R-SNARE Proteins / ultrastructure; SNARE Proteins / metabolism; Scorpion Venoms / enzymology; Scorpions / enzymology; Secretory Vesicles / chemistry; Secretory Vesicles / ultrastructure
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that venom from the Brazilian scorpion Tityus serrulatus and a purified fraction selectively cleave essential SNARE proteins within exocrine pancreatic tissue and the unique cleavages of VAMP2 and VAMP8 may be linked to pancreatitis that develops following scorpion envenomation.
