<i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> Cry4Ba Insecticidal ToxinExploits Leu<sup>615</sup> in Its C-Terminal Domain to Interact with a Target Receptor—<i>Aedes aegypti</i> Membrane-Bound Alkaline Phosphatase

In addition to the receptor-binding domain (DII), the C-terminal domain (DIII) of three-domain Cry insecticidal δ-endotoxins from <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> has been implicated in target insect specificity, yet its precise mechanistic role remains unclear. Here, the 21 kDa high-purity...
