Abstract
Genomic analysis revealed that coding sequences for N termini and C termini of crystal proteins are widely distributed in
B. thuringiensis
. We found Cry5B-like N terminus, lacking typical C terminus, was unable to be expressed in wild-type strain C15. However, its fusion with the C terminus of Cry5Ba not only was successfully expressed but also exhibited activity against the nematodes. This study provides insight into a potential source for novel Cry toxins.
