'''A common binding site for disialyllactose and a tri-peptide in the C-fragment of tetanus neurotoxin'''<br />

==Overview==

Clostridial neurotoxins are comprised of botulinum (BoNT) and tetanus, (TeNT), which share significant structural and functional similarity., Crystal structures of the binding domain of TeNT complexed with, disialyllactose (DiSia) and a tri-peptide Tyr-Glu-Trp (YEW) have been, determined to 2.3 and 2.2 A, respectively. Both DiSia and YEW bind in a, shallow cleft region on the surface of the molecule in the beta-trefoil, domain, interacting with a set of common residues, Asp1147, Asp1214, Asn1216, and Arg1226. DiSia and YEW binding at the same site in tetanus, toxin provides a putative site that could be occupied either by a, ganglioside moiety or a peptide. Soaking experiments with a mixture of YEW, and DiSia show that YEW competes with DiSia, suggesting that YEW can be, used to block ganglioside binding. A comparison with the TeNT binding, domain in complex with small molecules, BoNT/A and /B, provides insight, into the different modes of ganglioside binding.
