The seven serologically distinct types of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins, designated BoNT/A to BoNT/G, are synthesized as single-chain polypeptides of about 150 kDa. Proteolytic activation yields N-terminal light (=50 kDa) and C-terminal heavy chains (= 100 kDa) connected by single disulfide bonds. BoNT/D, like BoNT/Cl (1), is encoded by a bacteriophage (2, 3). The sequence shown below was established from cloned bacteriophage fragments the sizes of which were smaller than 2.0 kb (experiments registered by ZKBS Az 1494/1). The initial clone was identified with a synthetic 23-mer oligonucleotide containing only A or T residues in the wobble positions. The sequence (underlined) was deduced from a peptide obtained from purified BoNT/D by cyanogen bromide fragmentation. The sequence of
