Transcriptional regulation of the Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. thompsoni crystal protein gene operon.
TL;DR: Western analysis (immunoblotting) demonstrated that the operon promoter activity was located in the region upstream of the cry40 gene, and the Cry34 protein was expressed only when the upstream promoter region was present.

A stable oligomer of Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxin, CryIIIA
TL;DR: Data demonstrate that CryIIIA most likely exists as a dimer in solution and support the premise that delta-endotoxins from oligomeric structures which may be crucial for sustaining large conductance ion channels in host brush border membranes.

TL;DR: Chimeric genes are created by replacing the segment of the Bacillus thuringiensis gene encoding a native protoxin with a segment encoding a different protoxin in Pseudomonads as mentioned in this paper.

Analysis of membrane and surface protein sequences with the hydrophobic moment plot.
TL;DR: An algorithm has been developed which identifies alpha-helices involved in the interactions of membrane proteins with lipid bilayers and which distinguishes them from helices in soluble proteins, and suggests four transmembrane helices and a surface-seeking helix in fragment B, the moiety known to have trans Membrane function.
