| regional evolution of venom-gland phospholipase a2 isoenzymes of trimeresurus flavoviridis snakes in the southwestern islands of japan. | conventional chromatographic analysis showed that phospholipase a(2) (pla(2)) isoenzymes of the venom of trimeresurus flavoviridis (habu snake) of okinawa island are profoundly different in composition from those of t. flavoviridis of amami-oshima and tokunoshima islands. the most striking feature was that myotoxic [lys(49)]pla(2) isoenzymes, called bpi and bpii, which are expressed abundantly in the venoms of amami-oshima and tokunoshima t. flavoviridis, are missing from the venom of okinawa t. ... | 2000 | 10749679 |
| amino acid sequence of a basic aspartate-49-phospholipase a2 from trimeresurus flavoviridis venom and phylogenetic analysis of crotalinae venom phospholipases a2. | trimeresurus flavoviridis snakes inhabit the southwestern islands of japan: amami-oshima, tokunoshima and okinawa. a phospholipase a2 (pla2) of basic nature (pi 8.5) was isolated from the venom of amami-oshima t. flavoviridis. its amino acid sequence determined by the ordinary procedures was completely in accord with that predicted from the nucleotide sequence of the cdna previously cloned from amami-oshima t. flavoviridis venom gland, which was named pla-b'. it consists of 122 amino acid residu ... | 2005 | 15972222 |
| the taxonomic position and the unexpected divergence of the habu viper, protobothrops among japanese subtropical islands. | there are four habu species currently recognized in japan: protobothrops flavoviridis from the amami islands and the okinawa islands, p. tokarensis from the tokara islands, p. elegans from the yaeyama islands and ovophis okinabvensis from the amami islands and the okinawa islands. to clarify their taxonomic positions, we determined the complete mitochondria genome sequence (approx. 17kb) from two specimens from two different islands each for p. flavoviridis, p. tokarensis and p. elegans as well ... | 2016 | 27132943 |
