Crystal structure of the mosquito-larvicidal toxin Cry4Ba and its biological implications.

Journal of molecular biology - 29 Apr 2005

Boonserm Panadda, Davis Paul, Ellar David J, Li Jade

Abstract excerpt

Cry4Ba, isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis, is specifically toxic to the larvae of Aedes and Anopheles mosquitoes. The structure of activated Cry4Ba toxin has been determined by multiple isomorphous replacement with anomalous scattering and refined to R(cryst) = 20.5% and R(free)= 21.8% at 1.75 Angstroms resolution. It resembles previously reported Cry toxin structures but shows the following...
