Amino acid sequence and entomocidal activity of the P2 crystal protein. An insect toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki

The gene encoding the 66-kDa entomocidal protein (P2 protein or mosquito factor) from Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki has been isolated by the use of a 62-mer oligonucleotide probe that encoded 21 amino acids of the P2 protein NH2 terminus. The DNA sequence of the gene, designated cryBI, was un...

description The gene encoding the 66-kDa entomocidal protein (P2 protein or mosquito factor) from Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki has been isolated by the use of a 62-mer oligonucleotide probe that encoded 21 amino acids of the P2 protein NH2 terminus. The DNA sequence of the gene, designated cryBI, was unique from the published sequences of other B. thuringiensis genes. However, the amino acid sequence of the P2 protein, as deduced from the DNA sequence of the cryBI gene, was found to contain a sequence of 100 amino acids having 37% homology to a group of B. thuringiensis entomocidal proteins, the P1 proteins. Late stationary phase Bacillus megaterium cells harboring the cloned B. thuringiensis cryBI gene contained large aggregates of the P2 protein, and the cells were highly toxic to both lepidopteran and dipteran larvae. In contrast, Escherichia coli cells harboring the cloned cryBI gene contained very low levels of the P2 protein. DNA blot hybridization experiments showed that certain B. thuringiensis strains contained at least one cryBI-related DNA sequence in addition to the cryBI gene itself.
