== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CLAT_HUMAN CLAT_HUMAN] Defects in CHAT are the cause of congenital myasthenic syndrome with episodic apnea (CMSEA) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/254210 254210]; formerly known as familial infantile myasthenia gravis 2 (FIMG2). CMSEA is an autosomal recessive congenital myasthenic syndrome. Patients have myasthenic symptoms since birth or early infancy, negative tests for anti-AChR antibodies, and abrupt episodic crises with increased weakness, bulbar paralysis, and apnea precipitated by undue exertion, fever, or excitement.<ref>PMID:11172068</ref> <ref>PMID:12756141</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CLAT_HUMAN CLAT_HUMAN] Catalyzes the reversible synthesis of acetylcholine (ACh) from acetyl CoA and choline at cholinergic synapses.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The potential drug target choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) catalyzes the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in cholinergic neurons, T-cells, and B-cells. Herein, we show that arylvinylpyridiniums (AVPs), the most widely studied class of ChAT inhibitors, act as substrate in an unusual coenzyme A-dependent hydrothiolation reaction. This in-situ synthesis yields an adduct that is the actual enzyme inhibitor. The adduct is deeply buried in the active site tunnel of ChAT and interactions with a hydrophobic pocket near the choline binding site have major implications for the molecular recognition of inhibitors. Our findings clarify the inhibition mechanism of AVPs, establish a drug modality that exploits a target-catalysed reaction between exogenous and endogenous precursors, and provide new directions for the development of ChAT inhibitors with improved potency and bioactivity.
