General annotation (Comments)

Function

Inhibits acetylcholine release. The botulinum toxin binds with high affinity to peripheral neuronal presynaptic membrane to the secretory vesicle protein SV2. It binds directly to the largest luminal loop of the three isoforms SV2A, SV2B and SV2C. It is then internalized by receptor-mediated endocytosis. The C-terminus of the heavy chain (H) is responsible for the adherence of the toxin to the cell surface while the N-terminus mediates transport of the light chain from the endocytic vesicle to the cytosol. After translocation, the light chain (L) hydrolyzes the '197-Gln-|-Arg-198' bond in SNAP-25, thereby blocking neurotransmitter release. Inhibition of acetylcholine release results in flaccid paralysis, with frequent heart or respiratory failure By similarity.

Catalytic activity

Limited hydrolysis of proteins of the neuroexocytosis apparatus, synaptobrevins, SNAP25 or syntaxin. No detected action on small molecule substrates.

Subunit structure

Disulfide-linked heterodimer of a light chain (L) and a heavy chain (H) By similarity.

Subcellular location

Botulinum neurotoxin A light chain: Secreted. Host cytoplasmhost cytosol.

Botulinum neurotoxin A heavy chain: Secreted. Host cell junctionhost synapsehost presynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Potential.

Miscellaneous

There are seven antigenically distinct forms of botulinum neurotoxin: Types A, B, C1, D, E, F, and G.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase M27 family.
