Journal ArticleDOI
Mode of action of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry and Cyt toxins and their potential for insect control.
TL;DR: Recent evidence suggests that Cyt synergize or overcome resistance to mosquitocidal-Cry proteins by functioning as a Cry-membrane bound receptor, and compares them to the mode of action of other bacterial PFT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus thuringiensis: A story of a successful bioinsecticide
TL;DR: Recently, similar Cry-binding proteins have been identified in the three insect orders, as cadherin, aminopeptidase-N and alkaline phosphatase suggesting a conserved mode of action, suggesting a significant reduction in chemical insecticide use.
Journal ArticleDOI
RNA interference in Lepidoptera: An overview of successful and unsuccessful studies and implications for experimental design

TL;DR: Despite a large variation in the data, trends that are found are that RNAi is particularly successful in the family Saturniidae and in genes involved in immunity and that gene expression in epidermal tissues seems to be most difficult to silence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal three‐domain Cry toxins: mode of action, insect resistance and consequences for crop protection
TL;DR: Activity of Cry1AMod toxins, which are able to form toxin oligomers in the absence of receptors, against different resistant populations, supports the hypothesis that toxin oligomerization is a limiting step in the Cry insecticidal activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oligomerization triggers binding of a Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ab pore-forming toxin to aminopeptidase N receptor leading to insertion into membrane microdomains
Alejandra Bravo,Isabel Gómez,J. Conde,Carlos Muñoz-Garay,Jorge Sánchez,Raúl Miranda,Meibao Zhuang,Sarjeet S. Gill,Mario Soberón +8 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the two receptors of Cry1Ab toxin interact sequentially with different structural species of the toxin leading to its efficient membrane insertion.
