Function

3L21A_BUNMU Binds with high affinity to muscular (tested on Torpedo marmorata, Kd=0.4 nM) and neuronal (tested on chimeric alpha-7/CHRNA7, Kd=0.95 nM) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and inhibits acetylcholine from binding to the receptor, thereby impairing neuromuscular and neuronal transmission (PubMed:9305882). It also shows an activity on GABA(A) receptors (PubMed:16549768, PubMed:25634239). It antagonises GABA-activated currents with high potency when tested on primary hippocampal neurons (PubMed:25634239). It inhibits recombinantly expressed GABA(A) receptors composed of alpha-2-beta-2-gamma-2 (GABRA2-GABRB2-GABRG2) subunits with high potency (62.3% inhibition at 20 uM of toxin) (PubMed:25634239). It also shows a weaker inhibition on GABA(A) receptors composed of alpha-1-beta-2-gamma-2 (GABRA1-GABRB2-GABRG2) subunits, alpha-4-beta-2-gamma-2 (GABRA4-GABRB2-GABRG2) subunits, and alpha-5-beta-2-gamma-2 (GABRA5-GABRB2-GABRG2) subunits (PubMed:25634239). A very weak inhibition is also observed on GABA(A) receptor composed of alpha-1-beta-3-gamma-2 (GABRA1-GABRB3-GABRG2) (PubMed:26221036). It has also been shown to bind and inhibit recombinant GABA(A) receptor beta-3/GABRB3 subunit (Kd=about 50 nM) (PubMed:16549768). In addition, it blocks the extracellular increase of dopamine evoked by nicotine only at the higher dose (4.2 uM) (PubMed:9840221).^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

We report collection of 2.5 A resolution X-ray diffraction data from newly grown crystals of the rare 'small unit cell' form of the long snake neurotoxin, alpha-bungarotoxin. The previous model of the molecule has been rebuilt, and refined using least-square methods to a crystallographic residual of 0.24 at 2.5 A resolution. alpha-Bungarotoxin's crystal structure is compared with the crystal structures of two other snake neurotoxins (cobratoxin and erabutoxin), and with its solution structure inferred from spectroscopic studies. Significant differences include less beta-sheet in bungarotoxin's crystal structure than in solution, or in the crystal structures of other neurotoxins, and an unusual orientation in the crystal of the invariant tryptophan. The functional, binding surface of bungarotoxin is described; it consists primarily of hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonding groups and only a few charged side-chains. The structure is compared with experimental binding parameters for neurotoxins.

The crystal structure of alpha-bungarotoxin at 2.5 A resolution: relation to solution structure and binding to acetylcholine receptor.,Love RA, Stroud RM Protein Eng. 1986 Oct-Nov;1(1):37-46. PMID:3507686^[5]
