Abstract: | Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) inhibit neurotransmitter release by selectively cleaving core components of the vesicular fusion machinery. The synaptic vesicle proteins Synaptotagmin-I and -II act as receptors for BoNT/B and BoNT/G. Here we show that BoNT/A also interacts with a synaptic vesicle protein, the synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2C (SV2C), but not with the homologous proteins SV2A and SV2B. Binding of BoNT/A occurs at the membrane juxtaposed region preceding transmembrane domain 8. A peptide comprising the intravesicular domain between transmembrane domains 7 and 8 specifically reduces the neurotoxicity of BoNT/A at phrenic nerve preparations demonstrating the physiological relevance of this interaction. |
