Revised Manuscript Received February 19, 1992 abstract: Three distinct fibrinolytic enzymes have been purified from the venom of Crotalusbasiliscus basiliscus (the Mexican westcoast rattlesnake). The high-performance liquid chromatography-based purification comprised the following steps:(a) hydrophobic interaction chromatography;(b) hydroxylapatite chromatography;(c) anion-exchange chromatography. Following hydrophobic interaction chromtography two fibrinolytic activity peaks were detected, Cbfibl and Cbfib2. Cbfib2 was rendered homogeneous following hydroxylapatite chromatography. Upon hydroxylapatite chromatography Cbfibl was shown to consist of two components, Cbfibl. l and Cbfibl. 2. Both Cbfibl. l and Cbfibl. 2 were purified to homogeneity using anion-exchange chromatography. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that Cbfibl. l and Cbfibl. 2 had similar molecular weights (approximately 23 500), whereas Cbfib2 displayed a molecular weight of approximately 22500. The enzymes do not appear to be glycosylated. Tryptic digests of all three enzymes, analyzed by high-performance reverse-phase chromatography, suggest that Cbfibl. l and Cbfibl. 2 are closely related and different from Cbfib2. The latter displayed more similarity with Cbfibl. 2 than with Cbfibl. l. Specific fibrinolytic activity for all three enzymes was very similar, but general proteolytic activity varied substantially with Cbfib2 showing a 12-fold higher specific proteolyticactivity when compared to Cbfibl. l and Cbfibl. 2. None of these enzymes exhibited hemorrhagic activity when injected (up to 100 jug) subcutaneously into mice. Cbfibl. l and Cbfibl. 2 action against fibrinogen was directed equally against both the A a-and B^-chains. Against fibrin the rate of degradation of the a-chain was considerably higher than that of the/3-chain. Cbfib2 showed mainly a-fibrin (ogen) ase activity with limited activity on the (3-chain. Several fibrinogen cleavage sites on the Aa-chain have been identified: Cbfibl. l and Cbfibl. 2 cleave at
