'''neurotoxin BoNT/A E224Q Y366F mutant'''<br />

==Overview==

Clostridal neurotoxins (CNTs) are the causative agents of the, neuroparalytic diseases botulism and tetanus. CNTs impair neuronal, exocytosis through specific proteolysis of essential proteins called, SNAREs. SNARE assembly into a low-energy ternary complex is believed to, catalyse membrane fusion, precipitating neurotransmitter release; this, process is attenuated in response to SNARE proteolysis. Site-specific, SNARE hydrolysis is catalysed by the CNT light chains, a unique group of, zinc-dependent endopeptidases. The means by which a CNT properly, identifies and cleaves its target SNARE has been a subject of much, speculation; it is thought to use one or more regions of enzyme-substrate, interaction remote from the active site (exosites). Here we report the, first structure of a CNT endopeptidase in complex with its target SNARE at, a resolution of 2.1 A: botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A) protease, bound to human SNAP-25. The structure, together with enzyme kinetic data, reveals an array of exosites that determine substrate specificity., Substrate orientation is similar to that of the general zinc-dependent, metalloprotease thermolysin. We observe significant structural changes, near the toxin's catalytic pocket upon substrate binding, probably serving, to render the protease competent for catalysis. The novel structures of, the substrate-recognition exosites could be used for designing inhibitors, specific to BoNT/A.
