Purificação e caracterização de peptidases presentes no veneno do escorpião Tityus serrulatus. / Purification and characterization of peptidases from the venom of Tityus serrulatus scorpion.

Daniela Cajado de Oliveira Souza Carvalho 21 September 2017 (has links)
O escorpião amarelo é uma das principais espécies de interesse médico no Brasil e o tratamento recomendado em caso de acidentes é o uso do antiveneno. Pouco se sabe sobre os componentes proteolíticos de seu veneno e seus efeitos no envenenamento. O objetivo deste trabalho foi isolar peptidases do veneno de T. serrulatus e as caracterizar bioquimicamente, além de avaliar o potencial neutralizante de antivenenos. O veneno total foi caracterizado, buscando atividades proteolíticas relevantes. Após isso, foram isoladas duas metalloserrulases (ms3 e ms4) e uma ACE-like do veneno. Estudos bioquímicos como determinação de temperatura e pHs ótimos, influência de sais, determinação de constantes catalíticas e pontos de hidrólise dos substratos foram determinados para as proteases purificadas. Conclui-se que ativação/inativação de peptídeos bioativos in vitro pelas proteases são informações importantes e que deverão continuar sendo estudadas no futuro. / The yellow scorpion is one of the main species of medical interest in Brazil and the recommended treatment in case of accidents is the use of antivenom. Little is known about the proteolytic components of its venom and its effects on envenomation. The objective of this work was to isolate peptidases from T. serrulatus venom and to characterize them biochemically, besides to evaluating the neutralizing potential of antivenoms. The total venom was characterized, in searching for relevant proteolytic activities. After that, two metalloserrulases (ms3 and ms4) and one ACE-like venom were isolated. Biochemical studies such as determination of temperature and optimum pHs, influence of salts, determination of catalytic constants and hydrolysis points of the substrates were determined for the purified proteases. It was concluded that the activation / inactivation of bioactive peptides in vitro by proteases are important information and should be further studied in the future.
