Improvements in the mosquitocidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry19Aa were achieved by protein engineering of putative surface loop residues in domain II through rational design. The improvement of Aedes toxicity in Cry19Aa was 42,000-fold and did not affect its toxicity against Anopheles or Culex.
通过合理设计对苏云金芽孢杆菌Cry19Aa结构域II中假定的表面环残基进行蛋白质工程改造,实现了其杀蚊活性的提高。Cry19Aa对伊蚊的毒性提高了42000倍,且不影响其对按蚊或库蚊的毒性。
