Botulism is caused when the botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) inhibits the release of a neurotransmitter. The disease can be caused by eating toxin-contaminated food, but how the BoNT protein survives the digestive tract and reaches the bloodstream has been a mystery. Last year, a group led by Rongsheng Jin of the University of California, Irvine, demonstrated how a protein called nontoxic nonhemagglutinin (NTNHA) binds to and shields BoNT to protect it from digestive proteases. Jin and colleagues have now used electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography to study a complex of BoNT, NTNHA, and three hemagglutinin proteins that play a role in getting BoNT past intestinal cells to the blood (PLoS Pa­thog. 2013, DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1003690). The researchers find that the 760-kilo­dalton complex evokes the construction of the Apollo lunar lander, with BoNT and NTNHA on top and the hemagglutinins forming “legs,” which are the parts that interact with intestinal epithelial cells. The legs land on and bind to sugars on the cells, facilitating passage of BoNT. Jin and colleagues find that dosing mice with a monosaccharide can reduce BoNT toxicity, suggesting a way to prevent—but not treat—botulism. The full protein complex could also point to ways to deliver protein drugs orally.

Now, a team from the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute in California and the Medical School of Hannover in Germany, led by Rongsheng Jin, has cracked the problem and identified how a ’bodyguard’ protein protects its BONT master before releasing it into bloodstream.

’We were surprised to see that NTNHA, which is not toxic, turned out to be remarkably similar to botulinum neurotoxin. It’s composed of three parts, just like a copy of the toxin itself. The two proteins hug each other and interlock with what looks like a handshake,’ says Jin. This tight grip serves to hide the sensitive portions of the toxin and protect them from attack by acid and by digestive enzymes.

The team also identified residues on the NTNHA protein that are sensitive to pH - effectively acting as pH sensors. ’In the low pH of the digestive tract, the bodyguard protein remains tightly interlocked with the toxin protein,’ says Jin. ’But when it enters the bloodstream and the pH rises, the structure changes and the toxin is released.’

Knowledge of how the bodyguard exerts its protective influence might allow small molecules to be developed that can interfere with its action and act as an antidote to the poison, Jin suggests. ’This is something we are looking into.’

(Bloomberg) — China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings Ltd., once the country’s largest private shipyard, said it will not proceed with a proposed warrant sale after a potential investor who pledged as much as HK$3.2 billion ($413 million) was detained.

Wang’s detention occurred days before China Rongsheng shareholders are to meet March 13 to vote on the investment by Kingwin Victory. The firm agreed in October to pay at least HK$510 million for warrants Rongsheng is selling, and its total investment could reach HK$3.2 billion.

Rongsheng “has no information as to the details of the incident and has been unable to contact Mr. Wang Ping, which casts doubt” on Kingwin Victory’s ability to follow through on the investment by the March 31 deadline, Rongsheng said Wednesday in a statement to the Hong Kong Exchange.

The Beijing Public Security Bureau didn’t immediately respond to a faxed request for comment, and Wang couldn’t immediately be reached. Shares of the company fell as much as 8.1 percent in Hong Kong trade to HK$0.68 on Thursday, down from more than HK$8 in 2011. It was down 5.4 percent as of 9.35 a.m. local time.

Rongsheng has run into financial trouble amid competition with state-owned yards that have government backing and easier access to financing. The company is also seeking investment in its Jiangsu shipyard and bought a stake in an oilfield in Kyrgyzstan as part of efforts to restructure its business.

Shanghai-based Rongsheng said last August it’s entering the energy business and is issuing new shares so it can buy a 60 percent stake in a Kyrgyzstan oilfield. It later said it’s seeking to identify new investment opportunities outside China, including in Central Asia.

Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a large protein that is composed of three domains (upper right corner, crystal structure shown in yellow, green, and pink). The new study reveals a novel mechanism by which the toxin hijacks three receptors on the host neuronal surface as its “GPS” — the peptide moiety of protein SV2 (green-blue ribbon model), a conserved glycan modification of SV2 (green and light blue sticks), and a lipid (brown sticks) — to launch its attack.

A study co-led by Rongsheng Jin, professor of physiology & biophysics at the University of California, Irvine; Min Dong with Boston Children’s Hospital-Harvard Medical School; and Andreas Rummel with the Hannover Medical School in Germany, reveals an important general mechanism by which the pathogen is attracted to, adapts to and takes advantage of glycan modifications in surface receptors to invade motor neurons. Glycans are chains of sugars synthesized by cells for their development, growth, functioning or survival. Results appear June 13 in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology.

“Our findings reveal a new paradigm of the everlasting host-pathogen arms race, where a pathogen develops a smart strategy to achieve highly specific binding to a host receptor while also tolerating genetic changes on the receptor,” Jin said. “And to some extent, this mechanism by which the toxin attacks human is similar to the one that is utilized by some important broad-neutralizing human antibodies to fight viruses, such as dengue viruses and HIV.”
