Clostridium botulinumtype E neurotoxin, a single-chain protein ofMr147,000, was purified and subjected to amino acid sequencing. The same was done for single-chain botulinum type B neurotoxin (Mr152,000), and for the heavy and light chains (Mr104,000 and 51,000 respectively) derived from type B by limited trypsin digestion. Twelve to eighteen residues were identified and the following conclusions were drawn: (1) The light chain of the nicked (dichain) type B is derived from the N-terminal one-third of the single-chain (unnicked) parent neurotoxin; (2) sequence homologies are present between single-chain types B and E and the light chain of the nicked type A [J. J. Schmidt, V. Sathyamoorthy, and B. R. DasGupta (1984)Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.119, 900–904]; (3) the N-terminal regions of the heavy chains of types A and B have some structural similarity; and (4) activation of type B neurotoxin cannot involve removal of amino acids or peptides from the N terminus.
