Materials and MethodsVenom and Reagents. Naja nigricollis crawshawii venom, PC from hen’s egg, cardiolipin, dansyl chloride, O-methyl-isourea, and hydroxylamine were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO. 4-Vinylpyridine and succinic anhydride were obtained fromAldrich Chemical Co., Mil-waukee, WI, and potassium cyanide was from J. T. Baker Chemical Co., Phillipsburg, NJ. Normal human blood for erythrocytes and for platelet aggregation studies was freshly drawn from healthy volunteers. All other reagents were analytical grade.Purification and Homogeneity of Cardiotoxin CTX-1. The major cardiotoxin, CTX-1, from N. nigricollis crawshawii venom was purified byfast proteinliquid chromatography on a Pharmacia Mono S column followed by gel filtration on a Bio-Gel P-10 column (Kini et al., 1987). CTX-1 was re-chromatographed 3 times on Mono S and 2 times on a gel filtration column to minimize phospholipase contamination. The cardiotoxin was found to be homogeneous on both native and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, and phos-pholipid-splitting activity was undetectable (< 0.002% con-tamination with phospholipase) by a standard pH stat assay, using an egg suspension without detergents as substrate (Nieuwenhuizen et al., 1974). Reduction and Pyridylethylation. The cardiotoxin was reduced and pyridylethylated according to the method of Cavins and Friedman (1970). Protein (10 mg/mL) in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride/0.13 M Tris, pH 8.0, was treated with 0-mercaptoethanol (20 mol/mol of disulfide). After incubation at room temperature for 3 h, the mixture was treated with 3 mol of 4-vinylpyridine per mole of/3-mercaptoethanol. After 90-min further incubation, the mixture was desalted on a Sephadex G-25 column equilibrated with 9% formic acid. This pyridylethylated CTX-1 was used only in thesequence de-termination.
