Revised Manuscript Received December 8, 1987 abstract: The most plausible set of chemical shift assignments for-bungarotoxin as deduced from the combined use of two-dimensional/-correlated and two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectroscopy was in conflict with theaccepted amino acid sequence between residues 8 and 12 and residues 66 and 70 [Basus, V. J., Billeter, M., Love, R. A., Stroud, R. M., & Kuntz, I. D.(1988) Biochemistry (first paper of three in this issue)]. Furthermore, NMR spectra of a-bungarotoxin, purified by conventionalmethods, evidenced a second species at the level of approximately 10% total protein. The minor component was separated from-bungarotoxin by Mono-S (cationic) chromatography. Sequencing of Mono-S-purified-bungarotoxin and one of its tryptic peptides showed that the correct sequence for-bungarotoxin is Ser-Pro-Ile at positions 9-11 and Pro-His-Pro at positions 67-69. The electron density map of-bungarotoxin [Love, R. A., & Stroud, R. M.(1986) Protein Eng. 1, 37] was refined with the new sequence data. Improvements in the structure were found primarily for residues 9-11. Sequence analysis of two overlapping tryptic peptides proved that the minor species differed from-bungarotoxin by replacement of a valine for an alanine at position 31. This new toxin, a-bungarotoxin (Val ‘31), binds to the acetylcholine receptor with an affinity that is comparable to that of a-bungarotoxin.
