Intramolecular Proteolytic Cleavage ofBacillus thuringiensisCry3A δ-Endotoxin May Facilitate Its Coleopteran Toxicity

The Cry3A δ-endotoxin protein inclusion synthesized byBacillus thuringiensissubsp.tenebrionisis soluble in alkaline and acid buffer solutions but the toxin precipitates when returned to neutral pH conditions. The midgut pH of susceptible beetle larvae is neutral to slightly acidic, a pH environment...
