Key residues of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry2Ab for oligomerization and pore-formation activity
Abstract As a pore-forming toxin, activation, oligomerization and pore-formation were both required for the mode of action of Cry toxins. Previous results revealed that the helices α4–α5 of Domain I were involved in the oligomerization of Cry2Ab, however, the key residues for Cry2Ab aggregation rema...
