'''CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF APLYSIA CALIFORNICA ACHBP IN COMPLEX WITH EPIBATIDINE'''<br />


==Overview==
==Crystal structure of Aplysia californica AChBP in complex with epibatidine==
The crystal structure of the snake long alpha-neurotoxin, alpha-cobratoxin, bound to the pentameric acetylcholine-binding protein, (AChBP) from Lymnaea stagnalis, was solved from good quality density maps, despite a 4.2 A overall resolution. The structure unambiguously reveals, the positions and orientations of all five three-fingered toxin molecules, inserted at the AChBP subunit interfaces and the conformational changes, associated with toxin binding. AChBP loops C and F that border the, ligand-binding pocket move markedly from their original positions to wrap, around the tips of the toxin first and second fingers and part of its, C-terminus, while rearrangements also occur in the toxin fingers. At the, interface of the complex, major interactions involve aromatic and, aliphatic side chains within the AChBP binding pocket and, at the buried, tip of the toxin second finger, conserved Phe and Arg residues that, partially mimic a bound agonist molecule. Hence this structure, in, revealing a distinctive and unpredicted conformation of the toxin-bound, AChBP molecule, provides a lead template resembling a resting state, conformation of the nicotinic receptor and for understanding selectivity, of curaremimetic alpha-neurotoxins for the various receptor species.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Upon ligand binding at the subunit interfaces, the extracellular domain of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor undergoes conformational changes, and agonist binding allosterically triggers opening of the ion channel. The soluble acetylcholine-binding protein (AChBP) from snail has been shown to be a structural and functional surrogate of the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the receptor. Yet, individual AChBP species display disparate affinities for nicotinic ligands. The crystal structure of AChBP from Aplysia californica in the apo form reveals a more open loop C and distinctive positions for other surface loops, compared with previous structures. Analysis of Aplysia AChBP complexes with nicotinic ligands shows that loop C, which does not significantly change conformation upon binding of the antagonist, methyllycaconitine, further opens to accommodate the peptidic antagonist, alpha-conotoxin ImI, but wraps around the agonists lobeline and epibatidine. The structures also reveal extended and nonoverlapping interaction surfaces for the two antagonists, outside the binding loci for agonists. This comprehensive set of structures reflects a dynamic template for delineating further conformational changes of the LBD of the nicotinic receptor.
