	Seeing a neurotoxin's deadly grip

	Patent 7,172,763
		The neurotoxin can be a botulinum toxin, such as one of the botulinum toxin types A, B, C.sub.1, D, E, F or G. Preferably the botulinum toxin is botulinum toxin type A. The neurotoxin can be a modified neurotoxin which has at least one amino acid deleted, modified or replaced.
		The neurotoxins within the scope of the present invention exclude neuronal targeting moieties which are not native to the neurotoxin because we have found that the present invention can be effectively practiced without the necessity of making any modification or deletions to the native or wild type binding moiety of the neurotoxins used.
		The neuronal binding moiety component of the neurotoxin is a neuronal binding moiety which is native to the selected neurotoxin because we have discovered that the present invention can be practiced without replacement of the wild type neuronal binding moiety with a non-native or non wild type targeting moiety.

	Neurotoxin Summary
		Neurotoxins are categorized according to the nature of their impact on the nervous system.
		A prime example of a neurotoxin in the brain is glutamate, which is paradoxically also a primary neurotransmitter.
		A potent neurotoxin such as batrachotoxin affects the nervous system by causing depolarization of nerve and muscle fibres due to increased sodium ion permeability of the excitable cell membrane.

	Neurotoxin
		Neurotoxins act directly on neurons, or nerve cells, by interfering with membrane proteins and ion channels.
		The most common effect of the neurotoxins used by organisms is rapid-setting paralysis, useful to snakes and other venomous predators as it keeps the prey from running away.

	Patent 6,903,187
		The entire toxic activity of botulinum and tetanus toxins is contained in the L chain of the holotoxin; the L chain is a zinc (Zn++) endopeptidase which selectively cleaves proteins essential for recognition and docking of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles with the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane, and fusion of the vesicles with the plasma membrane.
		For example, a modified neurotoxin may be locally applied to the nasal cavity of the mammal in an amount sufficient to degenerate cholinergic neurons of the autonomic nervous system that control the mucous secretion in the nasal cavity.
		The differences in single-chain neurotoxin activation and, hence, the yield of nicked toxin, are due to variations in the serotype and amounts of proteolytic activity produced by a given strain.

		Neurotoxins are a group of toxins, whose highly specific effects on the nervous system of animal, including humans, by interfere with nerve impulse transmission.
		Neurotoxins are a varied group of compounds, both chemically and pharmacologically; they vary in chemical structures and mechanisms of action and produce very distinct biological effects.
		Neurotoxins may cause symptoms similar to chemical nerve agents, such as miosis, convulsions, tremor, seizures and rigid paralysis.

	Dietary Neurotoxin Linked To Alzheimer's
		Neurotoxins from blue-green algae present in certain foods or water can accumulate in proteins and might cause brain diseases like Alzheimer's after many years, suggests a new study.
		A neurotoxin called BMAA found in the fruit of the cycads on which the flying foxes feed is thought to become concentrated in the flying foxes' flesh.
		BMAA, in turn, is made by a blue-green alga, or cyanobacterium, that lives in the roots of the cycads.

	Why the cobra is resistant to its own venom? - Dr. Zoltan Takacs
		The principal components of the cobra venom are neurotoxins.
		Instead, according to the cobra DNA sequence, the receptor that serves as a target for the toxin has a structure that is different from the one present in mammals.
		Cobras produce neurotoxins, mongooses are eating cobras: a good reason to be protected in both cases, - and an excellent example for convergent evolution at the molecular level.

		They injected the neurotoxin into the area surrounding spinal cord injury in more than 60 rats, either at the time of injury or later, after the animals began exhibiting a grooming behavior associated with pain.
		After the neurotoxin was administered, researchers noted delays in the expected onset and severity of pain-associated excessive grooming behavior.
		Higher doses of the neurotoxin produced the most significant pain-relieving effect, although a significant response also was seen at a lower dose.

		Neurotoxins are substances attracted to the mammalian nervous system.
		However, because of the lipophilic/neurotropic nature of the neurotoxins, most are reabsorbed by the abundant nerve endings of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in the intestinal wall.

	Dr. Singh's Profile
		However, this segment is perhaps not sufficient for the translocation of the neurotoxin or its L chain.
		Interestingly, polypeptide segments that we have identified as amphiphilic (based on hydrophobic moment calculations) are located throughout the entire sequence of the L and H chains, thus opening the possibility of their interaction with the lipid bilayer.
		To confirm our hypothesis that the predicted amphiphilic segments participate in the membrane channel formation and neurotoxin translocation, we propose to raise antibodies against small peptide segments (15-20 amino acids each) containing predicted amphiphilic segments of L and H chains.

	eMedicine - Toxicity, Cone Shell Neurotoxin : Article Excerpt by: Don R Revis, Jr, MD
		It is believed that the cone shell detects its prey primarily with chemoreceptors that continually monitor its environment, although some visual signals might also be involved.
		The neurotoxins possessed by the cone shell are small peptides of fewer than 30 amino acids, which target different aspects of this neuronal communication sequence to achieve a common result, paralysis.
		The neurotoxins of some species, such as Conus geographus, are selective for the muscle-type acetylcholine receptor, while the neurotoxins of other species are selective for the neuronal-type acetylcholine receptor.

	Synaptotagmins I and II Act as nerve cell receptors for botulinum neurotoxin G -- Rummel et al., 10.1074/jbc.M403945200 ...
		Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) induce muscle paralysis by selectively entering cholinergic motoneurons and subsequent specific cleavage of core components of the vesicular fusion machinery.
		Peptides derived from the luminal domain of synaptotagmin I and II are capable of blocking the neurotoxicity of BoNT/G in phrenic nerve preparations.
		Pull-down and neutralization assays further established the membrane juxtaposed 10 luminal amino acids of synaptotagmins I and II as the critical segment for neurotoxin binding.
