The Botulinum toxin type E disulfide bonded heavy chain - light chain heterodimer (botE HC:LC, encoded by the C. botulinum botE gene) (Kumaran et al. 2009) binds ganglioside GT1b and synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) or 2B (SV2B) on the plasma membrane of a human target cell. In vivo, this process specifically targets synapses at neuromuscular junctions, where toxin association with ganglioside may position it to bind efficiently to SV2A or B when those proteins are exposed at the cell surface by exocytosis (Dong et al. 2008; Rummel et al. 2009).
