Abstract excerpt
The mosquitocidal toxin (MTX) from Bacillus sphaericus SSII-1 is an approximately 97-kDa arginine-specific ADP-ribosyltransferase that is activated by proteolytic cleavage, thereby releasing the active 27-kDa enzyme (MTX(30-264)) and a 70-kDa C-terminal fragment (MTX(265-870)). In solution, the cleaved 70-kDa fragment is still a potent inhibitor of the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of MTX. Here we studied the...
