Institute of Cell Biology and Genetic Engineering of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv

In the review the basic achievements in biotechnology of lettuce are cited. Such areas as lettuce cultivation іn vitro, development of protoplast isolation technique, somatic hybridization, regeneration of plants are considered. Achievements in the area of genetic transformation of lettuce and production of the resistant to biotic and abiotic factors transgenic plants and the plants – producers of recombinant proteins are described.

Key words: Lactuca sativa, biotechnology, somatic hybridization, genetic transformation, recombinant proteins.

Proteinase that demonstrated fibrinogenase activity from the venom of Echis multisquamatis was purified. Molecular weight of enzyme determined by SDS PAGE was 35 ± 1 kDа. Inhibitory assay showed that fibrinogenase belonged to the serine type of proteinases. It hydrolyzed X-X-R- pNa derivatives of tripeptides and splitted Bβ-chain of fibrinogen. Molecular weight of removed peptide of Bβ-chain allowed to suppose that fibrinogenase splitted ВβR23-E24 peptide bound. The K_m value of this reaction was 8 µM.

Key words: β-fibrinogenase, fibrinogen, venom of Echis multisquamatis.

FIBRINO(GENO)LYTIC ENZYME FROM Agkistrodon blomhoffii ussuriensis SNAKE VENOM: ISOLATION, PARTIAL CHARACTERIZATION AND INFLUENCE ON PLATELETS AGGREGATION

Fibrino(geno)lytic enzyme «Blomulyse» from Agkistrodon blomhoffii ussuriensis venom has been isolated in three chromatography steps. The purified enzyme is a typical single-chain metalloproteinase with molecular weight of approximately 30 kDa. Obtained enzyme hydrolyzed with high-efficiency the Aα-chain of fibrinogen followed by the Bβ-chain and showed no effect on the γ-chain.

Using different model systems in vitro we indicated that fibrolyse has no effect on the platelets aggregation stimulated by collagen, but on the other hand it inhibited ADP- and adrenalin-induced platelet aggregation.

Key words: fibrino(geno)lytic enzyme, snake venom, Agkistrodon, fibrinogen, platelets.

We investigated the effect of low temperatures on pig.s arterial vessels at creation of acellular xenogeneic vascular scaffolds. It was observed partial decellularization of endothelium layer, structure changing of connective tissue`s fibers and preservation of mechanical properties of vessels in a group of frozen-thawed arteries.

Key words: vascular grafts, scaffolds, bioengineering, decellularization.
