Elusive elapid: Biogeographic venom variation in Indian kraits and its repercussion on snakebite therapy

ABSTRACT: Snakebite is a major public health concern in many parts of the world, including India, where over 58,000 deaths occur annually due to this highly neglected tropical disease. The common krait (Bungarus caeruleus), one of the ‘big four’ Indian snakes, is responsible for the second-highest number of snakebite-related deaths in the country. The venom protein composition of common krait venoms from different locations were investigated. Venoms were pre-fractionated using RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE, and subjected to mass spectromentry analysis. The relative abundance of each toxin family was estimated and compared across different locations.

From birth to bite: the evolutionary ecology of India's medically most important snake venoms

Project description:Venoms of N. naja and D. russelii individuals of various developmental stages, including neonates (<30 days), juveniles (between 1 to 12 months), and mature individuals (>36 months), were sampled with permission from the state forest department of Karnataka. 226 individuals and 9 clutches were examined, including periodic venom collection (every three months) from the same N. naja and D. russelii juvenile individuals to track ontogenetic changes across time. Freshly collected venoms were flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, lyophilised and stored at -80° C. Venoms were fractionated using RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE and subjected to tandem mass spectrometry for toxin identification. The relative abundance of each toxin family were estimated and compared across different developmental stages.

Venomics of the Milos viper (Macrovipera schweizeri)

Project description:Snakebite is a neglected tropical disease and a globally important driver of death and morbidity. Vipers of the genus Macrovipera (Viperidae: Viperinae) are among the snakes of higher medical importance in the Old World. Despite the medical relevance of Macrovipera venoms, the knowledge regarding them is heterogeneously distributed with virtually all works conducted so far focusing on subspecies of Macrovipera lebetinus, while other species within the genus are largely overlooked. Here we present the first proteomic evaluation of the venom from the Greek endemic Milos viper (Macrovipera schweizeri). In line with clinical symptoms typically elicited by Macrovipera envenomations, Milos viper venom primarily comprises coagulotoxic and cytotoxic protein families, such as metalloproteinases (svMP) and serine proteases (svSP). We conducted comparative bioactivity assays on venoms from M. schweizeri and the M. lebetinus subspecies M. lebetinus cernovi, M. lebetinus obtusa, and M. lebetinus turanica, and showed that they all exhibit similarities in levels of cytotoxicity proteolytic activity, and inhibition of prokaryotic growth. Lastly, we compared 1D-SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC Macrovipera spp. venom profiles, as well as our proteomic data with previously published Macrovipera venom proteomes. The analyses performed reveal that a general venom profile seems to be conserved across blunt-nosed vipers, and that, similarly to M. lebetinus venom, M. schweizeri venom is able to cause significant tissue damage. The present work represents an important starting point to the development of comparative studies across the full taxonomic range of Macrovipera spp., and can potentially help optimize the treatment of envenomations caused by M. schweizeri.

Physiological constraints dictate toxin spatial heterogeneity in snake venom glands

Project description:Venoms are ecological innovations that have evolved numerous times, on each occasion accompanied by the co-evolution of specialised morphological and behavioural characters for venom production and delivery. The close evolutionary interdependence between these characters is exemplified by animals that control the composition of their secreted venom. This ability depends in part on the production of different toxins in different locations of the venom gland, which was recently documented in venomous snakes. Here, we test the hypothesis that the distinct spatial distributions of toxins in snake venom glands is an adaptation that enables the secretion of venoms with distinct ecological functions.

Lachesis muta snake venom peptidome

Project description:Snake venoms are known to be major sources of peptides with different pharmacological properties. In this study, we comprehensively explored the venom peptidomes of three specimens of Lachesis muta, the largest venomous snake in South America, using mass spectrometry techniques. The analysis revealed 19 main chromatographic peaks common to all specimens. A total of 151 peptides were identified, including 69 from a metalloproteinase, 58 from the BPP-CNP precursor, and 24 from a L-amino acid oxidase. To our knowledge, 126 of these peptides were reported for the first time in this work, including a new SVMP-derived peptide fragment, Lm-10a. Our findings highlight the dynamic nature of toxin maturation in snake venoms, driven by proteolytic processing, post-translational modifications, and cryptide formation.

High-throughput proteomics of the 26 medically most important elapids and vipers from sub-Saharan Africa

Project description:Venomous snakes are important parts of the ecosystem, and their behavior and evolution have been shaped by their surrounding environments over the eons. This is reflected in their venoms, which are typically highly adapted for their biological niche, including their diet and defense mechanisms for deterring predators. Sub-Saharan Africa is rich in venomous snake species, of which many are dangerous to humans due to the high toxicity of their venoms and their ability to effectively deliver large amounts of venom into their victims via their bite. In this study, the venoms of 26 of sub-Saharan Africa’s medically most relevant elapid and viper species were subjected to parallelized toxicovenomics analysis. The analysis included venom proteomics and enables a robust comparison of venom profiles between species. Moreover, two new venom proteomes (N. anchietae and E. leucogaster) are presented here for the first time.

PROTEOMIC PROFILE OF THE URINE OF BOTHROPIC ENVENOMING VICTIMS’ WHO DEVELOPED ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY

Project description:Snakebite is a serious public health problem and is classified as a neglected tropical disease that affects approximately 2.7 million people worldwide and results in more than 138.000 deaths per year, the vast majority in tropical and subtropical countries. Brazil is among the six countries with the highest number of snakebite poisonings, 111,932 cases are reported annually, 86.7% of which are botropic accidents. Amazonas has high rates of snakebite cases, registering approximately 9,174 annual cases across the state. Bothrops atrox, whose venom triggers local and systemic effects in its victims, is responsible for about 80-90% of cases in the region. The effect of botropic venom can cause everything from local manifestations to systemic changes, with acute renal failure being one of the most important complications resulting from these poisonings with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Proteomic analysis has the potential to visualize molecular changes and can be a powerful tool in the prior identification of differential proteins associated with toxicity and severity or progression of a given disease. Urine is a less complex sample when compared to other biofluids and can be a useful tool in the identification of kidney disease biomarkers. Thus, this study aimed to characterize the protein profile in urine samples of patient’s victims of a botropic accident with clinical outcome of acute renal failure.

Comparative gender peptidomics of Bothrops atrox venoms: new peptides and evidences of increased disintegrins levels in the venoms of females

Project description:Background: Bothrops atrox is known to be the pitviper responsible for most snakebites and human fatalities in the Amazon region. It can be found in a wide geographical area including the northern South America, the east of Andes and the Amazon basin. Possibly due to its wide distribution range and generalist feeding, intraspecific venom variation was reported by previous proteomics studies. Sex-based and ontogenetic variations on venom compositions of Bothrops snakes were also subject of proteomic and peptidomic analysis. However, the venom peptidome of B. atrox remains unknown. Methods: we conducted a mass spectrometry-based analysis of the venom peptides of individual male and female specimens combining bottom-up and top-down approaches. Results: We identified in B. atrox a total of 105 native peptides in the mass range of 0.4 to 13.9 kDa. Quantitative analysis showed that Phospholipase A2 and Bradykinin Potentiating Peptides were the most abundant peptide families in both genders, but the disintegrins levels were significantly increased in the venoms of females. Known peptides processed at non-canonical sites and new peptides were also revealed in this work. Conclusion: The venom peptidomes of male and female specimens of B. atrox were analyzed by mass spectrometry-based approaches in this work. The study points to differences in the disintegrin levels in the venoms of females that may result in distinct pathophysiology in envenomation. Further research is needed to explore its biological implications.

Exaptation of an evolutionary constraint enables behavioural control over the composition of secreted venom in giant centipedes

Project description:Venoms are biochemical arsenals that have emerged in numerous animal lineages, where they have coevolved with morphological and behavioural traits for venom production and delivery. In centipedes, venom evolution is thought to be constrained by the morphological complexity of their venom glands due to physiological limitations on the number of toxins produced by their secretory cells. Here, we show that the uneven toxin expression that results from these limitations have enabled giant centipedes to regulate the composition of their secreted venom despite having morphologically undifferentiated venom glands. We show that this control is likely achieved by the complex neuronal networks that innervate each venom gland subunit and is facilitated by morphological adaptations that circumvent the physiological evolutionary constraints on venom production. Our results suggest behavioural control over venom composition may be an overlooked aspect of venom biology and provide an example of how exaptation can facilitate evolutionary innovation and novelty.
