Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor homolog AChBP in complex with an alpha-conotoxin PnIA variant.

TL;DR: The structure at a resolution of 2.4 Å of α-Ctx PnIA (A10L D14K), a potent blocker of the α7-nAChR, bound with high affinity to acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP), the prototype for the ligand-binding domains of the nA ChR superfamily is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assembly of nicotinic and other Cys‐loop receptors

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the extracellular ligand-binding, membrane and cytoplasmic domains in the assembly of Cys-loop receptors is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Naturally occurring disulfide-bound dimers of three-fingered toxins: a paradigm for biological activity diversification.

TL;DR: Electrophysiological experiments on neuronal nAChRs expressed in Xenopus oocytes have shown that α-cobratoxin dimer not only interacts with α7 nA chR but, in contrast to α- cobrat toxin monomer, also blocks α3β2 nA ChR.
