Among bacterial protein toxins with intracellular targets, tetanus and botulinum toxins form a group with unique properties. They are absolutely neurospecific and act in the cytosol of neurons. Recent evidence indicates that they are zinc proteases specific for proteins of the neuroexocytosis apparatus.
