Toxicity analysis of N- and C-terminus-deleted vegetative insecticidal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis
Applied and Environmental Microbiology 67 (12), 5855-5858
Abstract: A vegetative insecticidal protein (VIP)-encoding gene from a local isolate of Bacillus thuringiensis has been cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The expressed protein shows insecticidal activity against several lepidopteran pests but is ineffective against Agrotis ipsilon. Comparison of the amino acid sequence with those of reported VIPs revealed a few differences. Analysis of insecticidal activity with N- and C-terminus deletion mutants suggests a differential mode of action of VIP against different pests.
