Abstract excerpt
The cadherin-like protein in lepidopteran insects, known as a receptor for Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1A toxins, is a single-pass membrane protein that can be divided into extracellular and intracellular regions. The extracellular region is important for toxin binding and oligomerization, whereas the role of the intracellular region during Cry1A intoxication is unclear. In the present study, we generated a...
