Modified neurotoxin comprising neurotoxin including structural modification, wherein the structural modification alters the biological persistence, such as the biological half-life and/or a biological activity of the modified neurotoxin relative to an identical neurotoxin without the structural modification. In one embodiment, methods of making the modified neurotoxin include using recombinant techniques. In another embodiment, methods of using the modified neurotoxin to treat conditions include treating various disorders, neuromuscular aliments and pain.

Leucine-based motif and clostridial neurotoxins

The present invention relates to a toxin comprising a modified light chain of a botulinum toxin type E, wherein the modified light chain comprises amino acid sequence PFVNKQFN (SEQ ID NO: 120) at the N-terminus, and amino acid sequence xDxxxLL (SEQ ID NO: 111) at the C-terminus, wherein x is any amino acid.

Chimera botulinum toxin type E

The present invention relates to a toxin comprising a modified light chain of a botulinum toxin type E, wherein the modified light chain comprises amino acid sequence PFVNKQFN (SEQ ID NO: 120) at the N-terminus, and amino acid sequence xExxxLL (SEQ ID NO: 112) at the C-terminus, wherein x is any amino acid.

Nucleic acids encoding chimera botulinum toxin type E

Modified neurotoxin comprising neurotoxin including structural modification, wherein the structural modification alters the biological persistence, preferably the biological half-life, of the modified neurotoxin relative to an identical neurotoxin without the structural modification. The structural modification includes addition or deletion of a leucine-based motif or parts thereof. In one embodiment, methods of making the modified neurotoxin include using recombinant techniques. In another embodiment, methods of using the modified neurotoxin to treat biological disorders include treating autonomic disorders, neuromuscular disorders or pains.

Leucine-based motif and Clostridial neurotoxins

Leucine-based motifs and enhanced biological persistence of clostridial neurotoxins

Natural and modified neurotoxins and isolated neurotoxin compositions are described. The neurotoxins may include one or more structural modifications, wherein the structural modification(s) alters the biological persistence, such as the biological half-life and/or a biological activity of the modified neurotoxin relative to an identical neurotoxin without the structural modification(s). In one embodiment, methods of making the modified neurotoxin include using recombinant techniques. In some embodiments, methods of using the modified neurotoxin to treat conditions include treating various disorders, neuromuscular ailments and pain.
