The Potential Role of the Methionine Aminopeptidase Gene <i>PxMetAP1</i> in a Cosmopolitan Pest for <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> Toxin Tolerance

Methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs) catalyze the cleavage of the N-terminal initiator methionine (iMet) in new peptide chains and arylamides, which is essential for protein and peptide synthesis. MetAP is differentially expressed in two diamondback moth (DBM; <i>Plutella xylostella</i>)...
