  ABSTRACT  
 
We report a new, higher resolution NMR structure of alpha-bungarotoxin that defines the structure-determining disulfide core and beta-sheet regions. We further report the NMR structure of the stoichiometric complex formed between alpha-bungarotoxin and a recombinantly expressed 19-mer peptide ((178)IPGKRTESFYECCKEPYPD(196)) derived from the alpha7 subunit of the chick neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. A comparison of these two structures reveals binding-induced stabilization of the flexible tip of finger II in alpha-bungarotoxin. The conformational rearrangements in the toxin create an extensive binding surface involving both sides of the alpha7 19-mer hairpin-like structure. At the contact zone, Ala(7), Ser(9), and Ile(11) in finger I and Arg(36), Lys(38), Val(39), and Val(40) in finger II of alpha-bungarotoxin interface with Phe(186), Tyr(187), Glu(188), and Tyr(194) in the alpha7 19-mer underscoring the importance of receptor aromatic residues as critical neurotoxin-binding determinants. Superimposing the structure of the complex onto that of the acetylcholine-binding protein (1I9B), a soluble homologue of the extracellular domain of the alpha7 receptor, places alpha-bungarotoxin at the peripheral surface of the inter-subunit interface occluding the agonist-binding site. The disulfide-rich core of alpha-bungarotoxin is suggested to be tilted in the direction of the membrane surface with finger II extending into the proposed ligand-binding cavity.

Figure 4.
Fig. 4. Stereo view of the 7 19-mer·Bgtx complex. Ten NMR-derived backbone traces of Bgtx (blue) and the 7 19-mer (red) are superimposed. N-terminal residues 178-184 of the 7 19-mer are unconstrained and were removed in this figure. For orientation, the N termini of Bgtx and the 7 19-mer, as presented, are colored black. The C-terminal tail of Bgtx (residues 69-74) is colored green for clarity. The figure was prepared using the program MOLMOL (53).
Figure 9.
Fig. 9. Model of Bgtx bound to the nAChR. The structured region of the 7 19-mer (Ser185-Tyr194) was superimposed onto the corresponding region of the AChBP (Val183-Tyr192) to model the orientation of Bgtx relative to the nAChR. The most representative structure from the 7 19-mer·Bgtx ensemble, as calculated by NMRCLUST (82), was chosen for superposition. A, superposition of backbone atoms of 7 19-mer(Ser185-Tyr194) in blue and AChBP(Val183-Tyr192) in red. The first of the adjacent cysteines is green in both segments. B, ribbon diagram of Bgtx at the subunit interface. Two adjacent subunits of the AChBP pentamer are shown with the -sheet in blue on the plus side and yellow on the minus side. Bgtx, between the subunits, is in magenta. C, global view of the predicted Bgtx-nAChR interaction. A surface model of the AChBP is shown with each subunit colored differently. This view of the AChBP is perpendicular to the 5-fold axis with the synaptic side on top and membrane side below. Bgtx is shown as a red stick model with the unstructured C-terminal tail removed. The 7 19-mer is not shown for clarity. The 1 angles of Gln167 and Tyr168 of the AChBP subunit forming the complementary Bgtx-binding site (in white) were rotated to prevent clashes with Bgtx. Neither residue participates in secondary structure elements.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
