C-Terminal Regions of Insecticidal Cry Toxins Form Amyloid Fibrils Affecting Metabolism of Insect Cells
Crystal (Cry) toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis are highly specific insecticidal proteins that are widely used as biological insecticides and function through proteolytic activation in insect midguts, which generates a three-domain toxic core responsible for membrane disruption as well as cleaved N- and C-termi...
