Fast-acting botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are highly desirable for both medical and aesthetic indications, but the underlying mechanism for the differing onset of BoNTs' action remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the "belt" of BoNTs, a largely unstructured loop wrapping around their catalytic light chain (LC), is key to onset of intoxication. The more flexible BoNT/E belt promotes quicker LC translocation into the neuronal cytosol, leading to faster onset of action compared to BoNT/A. Furthermore, we discover a "belt-buckle" checkpoint that regulates this process. By loosening the BoNT/A belt-buckle via protein engineering, we enhance its sensitivity to acidic pH, leading to an accelerated onset of action. Conversely, locking the belt-buckle with an antibody neutralizes BoNT/A. Our findings open avenues for developing fast-acting BoNTs and effective countermeasures.
