A viral-fusion-peptide-like molecular switch drives membrane insertion of botulinum neurotoxin A1
The translocation domain (HN) of Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) mediates the delivery of the BoNT light chain (LC) into neuronal cytosol. Here the authors provide insights into HN membrane insertion by determining the crystal structure of BoNT/A1 HN at acidic pH, which reveals a molecular switch in H...
