ABSTRACT
Joensuu and colleagues have recently shown that botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) type A exploits a heterotrimeric complex in the presynaptic membrane to bind to and enter neurons using a Trojan horse-like mechanism. Similar processes may be relevant to the neuronal entry of different botulinum toxin serotypes and other neuropathogens.
