抄録

The nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding Protobothrops elegans (Crotalinae) pancreatic phospholipase A2 (PLA2), abbreviated PePancPLA2, was determined by means of inverted PCR techniques. Since its deduced amino acid sequence contains a pancreatic loop and shows high similarity to that of Laticauda semifasciata (Elapinae) group IB pancreatic PLA2, PePancPLA2 is classified into group IB PLA2. The nucleotide sequences of the PePancPLA2 gene, the L. semifasciata group IB pancreatic PLA2 gene, and the L. semifasciata group IA venom PLA2 gene are similar to one another but greatly dissimilar to those of Protobothrops genus (Crotalinae) group II venom PLA2 genes, suggesting that the Elapinae group IB PLA2 gene and the group IA PLA2 gene appeared after Elapinae was established, and that the Crotalinae group II venom PLA2 genes came into existence before Elapinae and Crotalinae diverged. A phylogenetic analysis of their amino acid sequences confirms this.
