Abstract excerpt
Cytolytic toxin (Cyt) is a toxin among Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal proteins. Cyt toxin directly interacts with membrane lipids for cytolytic action. However, low hemolytic activity is desired to avoid non-specific effects in mammals. In this work, the interaction between Cyt2Aa2 toxin and model lipid bilayers mimicking the erythrocyte membrane was investigated for Cyt2Aa2 wild type (WT) and the T144A...
