The Bacillus thuringiensis PlcR-regulated gene inhA2 is necessary, but not sufficient, for virulence.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 2003

Fedhila Sinda, Gohar Michel, Slamti Leyla, Nel Patricia, Lereclus Didier

Abstract excerpt

We previously reported that Bacillus thuringiensis strain 407 Cry 32(-) secretes a zinc-requiring metalloprotease, InhA2, that is essential for virulence in orally infected insects. Analysis of the inhA2-lacZ transcriptional fusion showed that inhA2 expression is repressed in a PlcR(-) background...
