Binding of Hormone to Tissue: the First Step in Polypeptide Hormone Action

Year: 1966

Type: article

Abstract: Pesticidal proteins from bacteria, such as Bacillus thuringiensis and Lysinibacillus sphaericus, are widely used as biocontrol agents against various mosquito vectors of human disease. Tpp49Aa1/Cry48Aa1 from L. sphaericus are required as a ...The Lysinibacillus sphaericus proteins Tpp49Aa1 and Cry48Aa1 can together act as a toxin toward the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus and have potential use in biocontrol. Given that proteins with sequence homology to the individual proteins can have ...
