Abstract
Small serum proteins (SSPs) (molecular mass, 6.5–10 kDa) are high-molecular forms in the serum of Habu (Trimeresurus flavoviridis). An SSP-1–binding protein was purified from SSP- deficient serum by affinity chromatography on an SSP-1–HiTrap column and was identified as HSF, a known metalloproteinase inhibitor that suppresses the hemorrhagic activity of several snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs). The binding of SSP-1 to HSF was non-covalent and reversible, and the complex formed from these proteins dissociated at acidic pH. The mean dissociation constant of the complex was 2.5 ± 1.1 × 10-7 M as determined by surface plasmon resonance analysis. HSF also bound all other SSPs (SSP-2–SSP-5) with equimolar stoichiometry.
SSP-1 had no effect on the inhibition of several SVMPs by HSF. Thus, HSF plays an additional role in Habu serum as a carrier of SSPs.

Introduction
Smallserumproteins(SSPs)arelow-molecular- mass proteins first found in Habu (Trimeresurus flavoviridis) serum[1].Atpresent,5homologs, namelySSP-1–SSP-5,havebeenisolated[2].Structural analysis indicated that they belong to the PSP94 (prostatic secretory protein of 94 amino acids) family,whichischaracterizedbyalowmolecular mass of approximately 10 kDa and 10 strictly conserved cysteine residues that form 5 disulfide bonds[3-5].TheprotonNMRspectraofpigand human PSP94s have shown that they areβ-sheet proteinscomposedof2domains(N-andC-terminal domains)[6,7]. Although SSP-1 and SSP-2 are composedofabout90aminoacids,includingthe10
conserved Cys residues, SSP-5 has only 8 Cys residues.Interestingly,SSP-3andSSP-4consistof only 60 amino acids, as they lack the C-terminal domain.
Inapreviouspaper,wereportedthatallSSPs exist in high-molecular-mass forms in serum[8]. When T. flavoviridis serum was analyzed by analyticalgelfiltration,alltheSSPswereelutedasa broad peak with apparent molecular masses of approximately60–120kDa.SinceSSPsdonotself- associate in physiological buffers, they are hypothesized to be present in a protein complex.
LikeSSPs,humanPSP94existsincomplexwitha specific protein (PSP94–binding protein) in the blood and with cysteine-rich secretory protein-3 (CRISP-3)inprostatefluid[10].

Here, we report the identification of a novel SSP-binding protein.

InordertoidentifytheSSP-1–bindingprotein, purified SSP-1 immobilized to a HiTrap column wasusedforaffinitychromatography.Theserum from T. flavoviridis was first filtered through an ultrafiltrationmembranewithanominalmolecular weightcut-offof30,000inacidicconditionstoremove SSPs.

proteininT. flavoviridisserum,weanalyzedthe bindingbetweenHSFandSSP-1byanalyticalgel filtration.HSFandSSP-1wereelutedat7.28and9.98 min,respectively(Fig.2A).Themolecularweight ofHSFwasestimatedtobeapproximately100,000 by using a calibration curve; this indicates that HSFisdimeric.ThemixturesofHSFandvarious amountsofSSP-1in50mMphosphatebuffer(pH 7.0) containing 0.2 M NaCl were analyzed by gel filtration.WhenthemolarratioofSSP-1/HSFwas less than 1, the SSP-1 peak was not present, but ashoulderwasobservedat7.11min.Whenmore than1equivalentofSSP-1wasmixedwithHSF,the 7.11-minpeakwasprominent,andapeakappeared at9.98minbecauseofexcessSSP-1.Whentheeluate containingthe7.11-minpeakshowninFig.2Awas recoveredanddirectlysubjectedtoreverse-phase HPLC, both SSP-1 and HSF were detected (Fig.
2B). Thus, the 7.11-min peak was attributable to SSP-1andHSFbinding.Themolecularweightofthe complexwasestimatedtobeapproximately120,000 on the basis of a calibration curve. This value agreedwellwiththecomplexformationbetweenan HSFdimerand2moleculesofSSP-1,indicatinga stoichiometryof1:1onthebasisofsubunits.
Kinetics of complex formation between HSF and SSP-1
TheSSP-1–HSFcomplexisstableanddoesnot dissociateduringgelfiltration,asdescribedabove.
TheaffinitybetweenSSP-1andHSFwasfurther examinedbycontinuousmonitoringofassociation and dissociation by means of surface plasmon resonance technology. The affinity was evaluated
asillustratedinFig.2C.Sensogramsrevealedthat HSFhasahighaffinityforSSP-1,asindicatedby alowdissociationrate.Globalevaluationusingthe 1:1Langmuirbindingmodelyieldedkineticbinding parameters (Table 1). The association rate (ka) of SSP-1 for HSF was considerably higher than the dissociation rate (kd). The calculated mean dissociationconstant(KD)was2.5×10-7M(SD1.1
×10-7),suggestingthattheinteractionbetweenHSF andSSP-1ishighlyspecific.
Binding of HSF to other SSPs
Sequence similarity between the 5 SSPs suggestedthatHSFcouldalsobindtootherSSPs.
WhenaslightexcessofeachofSSP-2,SSP-3,SSP-4, orSSP-5wasmixedwithHSF,the7.28-minpeak correspondingtoHSFdisappearedandanewpeak, attributable to the SSP-HSF complex, appeared at7.12,7.15,7.13,and7.06min,respectively(Fig.

Effect of HSF–SSP-1 complex on the proteolytic activity of SVMPs
Like HSF, SSP-1 inhibits brevilysin H6, an SVMPisolatedfromGloydius blomhoffi brevicaudus venom[20]. However, the inhibition was weak and thebindingofSSP-1toH6wasnotstoichiometric.

Discussion
Since SSPs are low-molecular-mass proteins, theymaybepresentinahigh-molecular-massform to prevent excretion in the urine. Therefore, the presenceofabindingproteinwithahighmolecular mass was expected. Serotriflin was isolated from T. flavoviridisserumasacandidateSSP–binding protein[8].Structuralanalysisrevealedthatserotriflin
isamemberoftheCRISPfamily.TheCRISPfamily ofproteinsshowsawidephylogeneticdistribution, rangingfromplantstomammals[21].Indeed,SSP-2 forms a noncovalent complex with serotriflin and triflin[1,8].Recently,wehavefoundthatSSP-5also binds to serotriflin and triflin (unpublished). As discussed in a previous paper[1], SSP-2 seems to preventself-injurybyaccidentalleakingofvenom intothebloodsincetriflinpossessesneurotoxin-like activity[11].
UnlikeSSP-2andSSP-5,however,otherSSPs could not effectively bind to serotriflin. Since all the SSPs do not aggregate in aqueous buffers but exist in high-molecular-mass forms in the serum, another binding protein may be present.
Affinity chromatography of SSP-deficient serum onanSSP-1–HiTrapcolumnrevealedthatHSF,an Fig.3.BindinganalysisofHSFtoSSP-2(A),SSP-3(B),SSP-4(C),andSSP-5(D).Anequalamountofeachof the4SSPs(100μM)wasaddedto5μlofHSF(90μM).Themixtureswereanalyzedbygelfiltration HPLConacolumnofTSKgelG3000SW(0.75×30cm)in50mMphosphatebuffer(pH7.0)containing0.2 MNaClataflowrateof1.0ml/min.RetentiontimesofSSPsandSSP-HSFcomplexesareshownin parentheses.

2and3).BJ46a,anHSFproteinhomologisolated fromtheserumofBothrops jararaca,alsoformsa homodimer[22].ThemolecularweightoftheSSP-HSF complexsuggestedthatthestoichiometryofHSFand SSPinthecomplexis1:1onthebasisofsubunits.
Thisisincontrasttothe2:1stoichiometrybetween humanPSP94andCRISP-3.Preliminaryexperiments showedthatMSF,anotherhomologofHSFinG.
blomhoffi brevicaudusserum[23],couldalsobindtoall theSSPsinaneutralbuffer(datanotshown).
ThecomplexesbetweenSSPsandtheirbinding proteinscoulddissociateinacidicsolutionswithpH below4[1].HSFandSSPsareconsiderablystableat extremepHvaluesaswellashightemperatures[1,13]. ThehighstabilityofSSPsmayberesponsiblefor theirtightconformationasestimatedfromthe3D structureofhumanandporcinePSP94proteins[7]. TheacidstabilityofbothHSFandSSPsfacilitated theBiacoreexperiments;repeatedwashingofthe sensor chip conjugating the SSPs with a buffer atpH2didnotleadtoadecreaseinthebinding potencytoHSF.HSFboundtoSSPswithdissociation constantsof2.0×10–7–6.6×10–7M.Theaffinitywas approximately10timeslowerthanthatofSSP-2to triflinandserotriflin[8].Thissuggeststhatserotriflin isabetterSSP-2carrierproteinthanHSF.Sincethe serumconcentrationofHSFismuchhigherthan thatofserotriflin,SSP-2seemstobepresentasa complex with either HSF or serotriflin. However, apreliminaryexperimentrevealedthattheSSP-2–
serotriflincomplexcouldfurtherbindHSF,andvice versa,toformaternarycomplex(datanotshown).
ThisindicatesthatSSP-2canbindCRISPandHSFat 2distinctregions.
Although SSP-1 is the major component amongthe5SSPs,itsphysiologicalfunctionisstill speculative. It weakly inhibits brevilysin H6[20]
but not other SVMPs. The significance of SSP-1–
HSFcomplexformationisnotyetclear.SSP-1may playaroleintheantihemorrhagicactivityofHSF as a regulator of its inhibitory activity by either enhancement or suppression. For example, SSP-1 can help the binding of HSF to the P-I class of SVMPs,whicharelesseffectivetargetsofHSF[19].
