RESUMO
It is known that snake venoms are a complex of enzymes and proteins and the interaction of different venom components with the membranes could be significantly enhanced in course of their action in an orchestra. The aim of the proposed investigation is to obtain detailed information about the mechanism and topology of two snake venom PLA2 isoforms from the Macrovipera lebetina obtusa venom in the membrane-binding process. We investigated the impact of the interaction on the properties of the model membrane (namely, GUVs and erythrocytes ghost) for each of these isoforms, as well as their synergetic action if they act simultaneously. The 6-lauroyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene and 6-propionyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene fluorescence probes were used to allow us to determine the membrane polarity more accurately via a generalized polarization function. Our results show that two types of PLA2 bring viscosity reduction in GUVs membrane and the effect became more potent when these PLA2 acts together. Intriguingly, we have not observed any significant difference in the case of the erythrocytes ghost membrane.
