Characterization of cDNAs encoding serine proteases and their transcriptional responses to Cry1Ab protoxin in the gut of Ostrinia nubilalis larvae

Yao, Jianxiu; Buschman, Lawrent L.; Oppert, Brenda; Khajuria, Chitvan; Zhu, Kun Yan (2012)

Serine proteases, such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, are the primary digestive enzymes in lepidopteran larvae, and are also involved in Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) protoxin activation and protoxin/toxin degradation. We ...
A novel Tenebrio molitor cadherin is a functional receptor for Bacillus thuringiensis cry3aa toxin

Fabrick, Jeff; Oppert, Chris; Lorenzen, Marce D.; Morris, Kaley; Oppert, Brenda; Jurat-Fuentes, Juan Luis (2009)

Cry toxins produced by the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are effective biological insecticides. Cadherin-like proteins have been reported as functional Cry1A toxin receptors in Lepidoptera. Here we present data ...
Transcriptome profiling of the intoxication response of Tenebrio molitor larvae to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry3Aa protoxin

Oppert, Brenda; Dowd, Scot E.; Bouffard, Pascal; Li, Lewyn; Conesa, Ana; Lorenzen, Marce´ D.; Toutges, Michelle; Marshall, Jeremy; Huestis, Diana L.; Fabrick, Jeff; Oppert, Cris; Jurat- Fuentes, Juan Luis (2012)

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crystal (Cry) proteins are effective against a select number of insect pests, but improvements are needed to increase efficacy and decrease time to mortality for coleopteran pests. To gain ...
