Differentiated pattern of protein composition of crystalline inclusions of newly isolated Bacillus thuringiensis strains from Silesia in Poland.
Protein profiles of crystal delta-endotoxins were determined in twenty nine Bacillus thuringiensis strains-soil and phylloplane isolates--from Poland. Electrophoretic analysis revealed quantatively and qualitatively different patterns of delta-endotoxin crystal preparations of these B. thuringiensis strains. The crystalline parasporal inclusions of B. thuringiensis isolates were composed of two...
متن کاملRegulation by overlapping promoters of the rate of synthesis and deposition into crystalline inclusions of Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxins.
During sporulation, Bacillus thuringiensis produces intracellular, crystalline inclusions comprised of a mixture of protoxins active on insect larvae. A major class of these protoxin genes, designated cry1, is transcribed from two overlapping promoters (BtI and BtII) utilizing RNA polymerase containing sporulation sigma factors sigma(E) and sigma(K), respectively. Fusions of these promoters to ...
متن کاملBacillus thuringiensis in caterpillars and associated materials collected from protected tropical forests in northwestern Costa Rica.
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) synthesizes crystalline inclusions that are toxic to caterpillars (Lepidoptera) and other orders of invertebrates. Materials associated with 37 caterpillars from 16 species, collected while feeding on 15 different species of host plants in dry, cloud and rain forests located in the Area de Conservación Guanacaste in northwestern Costa Rica, were examined for the pres...
متن کاملRegulation of cry Gene Expression in Bacillus thuringiensis
Bacillus thuringiensis differs from the closely related Bacillus cereus group species by its ability to produce crystalline inclusions. The production of these crystals mainly results from the expression of the cry genes, from the stability of their transcripts and from the synthesis, accumulation and crystallization of large amounts of insecticidal Cry proteins. This process normally coincides...
متن کاملImportant Interactions with Membrane Receptors in the Mode of Action of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry Toxins
4 Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is an aerobic, spore-forming bacterium that produces, during the sporulation phase, crystalline inclusions composed of proteins known as δ-endotoxins (3). The δ-endotoxins form two multigenic families, Cry and Cyt toxins. Cry proteins are specifically toxic to several orders of insects: Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera, and to nematodes. In contrast, C...
