Two truncated Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein genes, belonging to the classes cryIA(b) and cryIC and both coding for insecticidal N-terminal fragments of the corresponding crystal proteins, were translationally fused. Expression of the gene fusion in Escherichia coli showed a biologically active protein with a toxicity spectrum that overlapped those of both contributing crystal proteins.
两个截短的苏云金芽孢杆菌晶体蛋白基因,属于 cryIA(b) 和 cryIC 两类,均编码相应晶体蛋白的杀虫 N 端片段,被翻译融合。该基因融合在大肠杆菌中的表达产生了一种具有生物活性的蛋白质,其毒性谱与两种贡献晶体蛋白的毒性谱重叠。
