摘要: Tetanus and botulinum neurotoxins are produced by bacteria of the genus Clostridium cause paralytic syndromes tetanus botulism with a persistent inhibition neurotransmitter release at central peripheral synapses, respectively. These consist two disulfide-linked polypeptides: H (100 kDa) is responsible for neurospecific binding cell penetration L(50 kDa), zinc-endopeptidase specific three protein subunits neuroexocytosis apparatus. neurotoxin serotypes B, D, F, G cleave single sites, which differ each neurotoxin. VAMP/synaptobrevin, membrane synaptic vesicles. Botulinum A E SNAP-25, presynaptic membrane, different carboxyl-terminal peptide bonds. Serotype C cleaves specifically syntaxin, another nerve plasmalemma. The target specificity these metallo-proteinases relies on double recognition their substrates based interactions cleavage site non contiguous segment that contains structural motif common to VAMP, SNAP-25 syntaxin.
