cDNA and deduced amino acid sequences of a representative clone PLA₂-K49 from cluster BC11 [dbEST: JZ880101] (a) and a representative PLA₂-D49 clone from cluster BC13 [dbEST: JZ880102] (b). The 16-residue signal peptide is underlined. The mature sequence is bolded. (c) Multiple alignments of predicted amino acid sequences of PLA₂-K49, PLA₂-D49, and basic D49-PLA₂ with other homologous venom proteins. The alignment was generated with the ClustalW multiple sequence alignment program with manual adjustment and displayed with shaded boxes. PLA₂-K49 [dbEST: JZ880101] is identical to basic the PLA₂ homolog 2 (myotoxin II) from B. asper. Basic D49-PLA₂ [dbEST: JZ880106] had 96.5 % identity to basic PLA₂ myotoxin III [P20474.2] from B. asper. PLA₂-D49 [dbEST: JZ880102] is closely homologous to BmooPLA₂ from B. moojeni. The numbers in parenthesis are the NCBI accession numbers
