Figure 2: Interaction between the H[CC] domain of BoNT/B and the recognition domain of Syt-II. a, Binding interface on BoNT/B (circled in dashed line) reveals hydrophobic groove (green, hydrophobic surface). b, Close-up view of the binding interface of Syt-II (magenta) and BoNT/B (light blue) by rotating 90° around the x axis. c, Truncation mutants of Syt-II were tested for BoNT/B binding activity. d, Point mutants of Syt-II were tested for BoNT/B binding activity. e, f, Various synaptotagmin mutants, in which residues within the recognition domain were interconverted between Syt-II and Syt-I, were tested for BoNT/B binding activity. WT, wild type; GST, glutathione S-transferase.
