Toxicity and mode of action of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry proteins in the Mediterranean corn borer, Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefebvre)
Article Abstract:
The mode of action of Cry protein on Sesamia nonagrioides and the modes of action of other Cry proteins that were found to be active in the work were studied. The complementation experiments indicated that these toxins bind specifically and that Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, and Cry1Ac share a binding site while Cry1Ca and Cry1Ab bind to different sites and CryFa binds to Cry1A's binding site with low affinity and vice versa.

Cloning and expression of two crystal protein genes, cry30Ba1 and cry44a1, obtained from a high mosquitocidal strain, Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. entomcidus INA288
Article Abstract:
The cloning and expression of two crystal protein genes, cry44Aalorf2-44A and cry30Balorf2-30B was reported from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. entomocidus INA288. These studies serve as evidence that genes from INA288, such as cry44Aalorf2-44A is useful in managing resistance and as a component of synthetic combinations of mosquitocidal toxins.
