Agrotis segetum midgut putative receptor of Bacillus thuringiensis vegetative insecticidal protein Vip3Aa16 differs from that of Cry1Ac toxin
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2013 , Article)
Considering the fact that Agrotis segetum is one of the most pathogenic insects to vegetables and cereals in the world, particularly in Africa, the mode of action of Vip3Aa16 of Bacillus thuringiensis BUPM95 and Cry1Ac of ...
Susceptibility of Agrotis segetum (noctuidae) to Bacillus thuringiensis and analysis of midgut proteinases
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Article)
Seventy-eight Bacillus thuringiensis isolates were selected for a screening against the Lepidoptera species Agrotis segetum to search the higher insecticidal activity. In a preliminary bioassay, the spore-crystal mixture ...
Amino acids Y229 and F603 are involved in Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac delta-endotoxin stability and toxicity
(
Blackwell Publishing
, 2012 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac toxin shares structurally five conserved blocs with the other δ-endotoxins. To study the role of some amino acids belonging to these regions, two mutations, Y(229) P and F(603) S, were introduced ...
Construction of a Bacillus thuringiensis genetically-engineered strain harbouring the secreted Cry1Ia delta-endotoxin in its crystal
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2011 , Article)
Unlike other Bacillus thuringiensis Cry proteins, Cry1 Ia does not form a crystal since it is a secreted delta-endotoxin. We have engineered a Cry1 Iac chimeric protein by substituting the C-terminal part of Cry1 Ia by the ...
Toxin stability improvement and toxicity increase against dipteran and lepidopteran larvae of Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein Cry2Aa
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
BACKGROUND
Bacillus thuringiensis δ-endotoxins are the most widely used biopesticides for controlling economically important crop pests and disease vectors. Improving their efficacy is of great benefit. Here, an improvement ...
