Snake toxin domain, present in short and long neurotoxins, cytotoxins and short toxins, and in other miscellaneous venom peptides. The toxin acts by binding to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the postsynaptic membrane of skeletal muscles and preventing the binding of acetylcholine, thereby blocking the excitation of muscles. This domain contains 60-75 amino acids that are fixed by 4-5 disulfide bridges and is nearly all beta sheet; it exists as either monomers or dimers.

Conserved site includes 10 residues -Click on image for an interactive view with Cn3D
Feature 1:receptor binding site
Evidence:
  • Comment:receptor binding is achieved mainly through these 2 fingers in the toxin
  • Comment:fasciculin (FAS); acetylcholinesterase (AChE)
  • Comment:FAS is a three-fingered toxin which is a powerful reversible inhibitor of AChE
  • Structure:1FSS; FASII and AChE receptor
