Abstract EN
Black cutworm (BCW) Agrotis ipsilon, an economically important lepidopteran insect, has attracted a great attention.
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is spore forming soil bacteria and is an excellent environment-friendly approach for the control of phytophagous and disease-transmitting insects.
In fact, bio-pesticide formulations and insect resistant transgenic plants based on the bacterium Bt delta-endotoxin have attracted worldwide attention as a safer alternative to harmful chemical pesticides.
The major objective of the current study was to understand the mechanism of interaction of Bt toxin with its receptor molecule (s).
The investigation involved the isolation, identification, and characterization of a putative receptor-vip3Aa.
In addition, the kinetics of vip toxin binding to its receptor molecule was also studied.
The present data suggest that Vip3Aa toxin bound specifically with high affinity to a 48-kDa protein present at the brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) prepared from the midgut epithelial cells of BCW larvae.
