Bacillus thuringiensis Cry3Aa and Cry3Ca proteins have been reported to be toxic against the African sweetpotato pest Cylas puncticollis. In the present work, the binding sites of these proteins in C. puncticollis brush border vesicles suggest the occurrence of different binding sites, but only one of them is shared. Our results suggest that pest resistance mediated by alteration of the shared Cry-receptor binding site might not render both Cry proteins ineffective.
据报道,苏云金芽孢杆菌Cry3Aa和Cry3Ca蛋白对非洲甘薯害虫甘薯小象甲有毒性。在本研究中,这些蛋白在甘薯小象甲刷状缘膜泡中的结合位点表明存在不同的结合位点,但只有一个是共享的。我们的结果表明,由共享的Cry受体结合位点改变介导的害虫抗性可能不会使两种Cry蛋白都失效。
