Beschreibung:
One promising management strategy for mosquito control is the utilization of a mixture of L. sphaericus and B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis insecticidal toxins. From this set, Bin and Cyt1Aa toxins synergize and display toxicity to resistant C. quinquefasciatus and to A. aegypti larvae, whose midgut cells lack Bin toxin receptors. Our data set provides evidence that functional Cyt1Aa is essential for internalization of Bin or its BinA subunit into such cells, but binding interaction between Bin and Cyt1Aa is not observed. Thus, this mechanism contrasts with that for the synergy between Cyt1Aa and the B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis Cry toxins, where active Cyt1Aa is not necessary but a specific binding between Cry and Cyt1Aa is required. Our study established the initial molecular basis of the synergy between Bin and Cyt1Aa, and these findings enlarge our knowledge of their mode of action, which could help to develop improved strategies to cope with insect resistance.
