Structural highlights
Function[NXL1_NAJKA] The monomeric form binds with high affinity to muscular, Torpedo (muscle-type), and neuronal alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). Has no effect on alpha-3/beta-2 nAChR. Causes paralysis by preventing acetylcholine binding to the nAChR. Does not show any blockade of the nicotine-evoked release of dopamine and does not affect ACh release. In mice lung cancer, causes reduction of tumor growth.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] The homodimeric form binds with low affinity to Torpedo (muscle-type) and alpha-7 nAChRs, whereas it acquires the capacity to block alpha-3/beta-2 nAChRs.[10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [ACHA_TORCA] After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe alpha18-mer peptide, spanning residues 181-198 of the Torpedo nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha1 subunit, contains key binding determinants for agonists and competitive antagonists. To investigate whether the alpha18-mer can bind other alpha-neurotoxins besides alpha-bungarotoxin, we designed a two-dimensional (1)H-(15)N heteronuclear single quantum correlation experiment to screen four related neurotoxins for their binding ability to the peptide. Of the four toxins tested (erabutoxin a, erabutoxin b, LSIII, and alpha-cobratoxin), only alpha-cobratoxin binds the alpha18-mer to form a 1:1 complex. The NMR solution structure of the alpha-cobratoxin.alpha18-mer complex was determined with a backbone root mean square deviation of 1.46 A. In the structure, alpha-cobratoxin contacts the alpha18-mer at the tips of loop I and II and through C-terminal cationic residues. The contact zone derived from the intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effects is in agreement with recent biochemical data. Furthermore, the structural models support the involvement of cation-pi interactions in stabilizing the complex. In addition, the binding screen results suggest that C-terminal cationic residues of alpha-bungarotoxin and alpha-cobratoxin contribute significantly to binding of the alpha18-mer. Finally, we present a structural model for nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-alpha-cobratoxin interaction by superimposing the alpha-cobratoxin.alpha18-mer complex onto the crystal structure of the acetylcholine-binding protein (Protein Data Bank code ). NMR-based binding screen and structural analysis of the complex formed between alpha-cobratoxin and an 18-mer cognate peptide derived from the alpha 1 subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo californica.,Zeng H, Hawrot E J Biol Chem. 2002 Oct 4;277(40):37439-45.
