It binds to peripheral neuronal synapses, is internalized and moves by retrograde transport up the axon into the spinal cord where it can move between postsynaptic and presynaptic neurons. It inhibits neurotransmitter release by acting as a zinc endopeptidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the '76-Gln-|-Phe-77' bond of synaptobrevin-2. 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 PubMed The 2.7 A structure of the tetanus neurotoxin receptor binding fragment Hc reveals a jelly-roll domain and a beta-trefoil domain. Hc retains the unique transport properties of the holotoxin and is capable of eliciting a protective immunological response against the full length holotoxin.
