Structural basis for the unique ganglioside and cell membrane recognition mechanism of botulinum neurotoxin DC
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are thought to require complex gangliosides, a group of glycosphingolipids, as essential co-receptors to target neurons. Here, the authors show that BoNT/DC represents an exception to this rule and that an extended loop in BoNT/DC penetrates directly into neuronal membr...
