Function

[TETX_CLOTE] Tetanus toxin acts by inhibiting neurotransmitter release. 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 entry of tetanus neurotoxin into neuronal cells proceeds through the initial binding of the toxin to gangliosides on the cell surface. The carboxyl-terminal fragment of the heavy chain of tetanus neurotoxin contains the ganglioside-binding site, which has not yet been fully characterized. The crystal structures of native H(C) and of H(C) soaked with carbohydrates reveal a number of binding sites and provide insight into the possible mode of ganglioside binding.

The structures of the H(C) fragment of tetanus toxin with carbohydrate subunit complexes provide insight into ganglioside binding.,Emsley P, Fotinou C, Black I, Fairweather NF, Charles IG, Watts C, Hewitt E, Isaacs NW J Biol Chem. 2000 Mar 24;275(12):8889-94. PMID:10722735^[1]
