Crystal structure of full length botulinum neurotoxin (Type B) light chainCrystal structure of full length botulinum neurotoxin (Type B) light chain
Structural highlights
FunctionBXB_CLOBO Botulinum toxin acts by inhibiting neurotransmitter release. It binds to peripheral neuronal synapses, is internalized and moves by retrograde transport up the axon into the spinal cord where it can move between postsynaptic and presynaptic neurons. It inhibits neurotransmitter release by acting as a zinc endopeptidase that cleaves the '76-Gln-|-Phe-77' bond of synaptobrevin-2. Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
