Computational Modeling Deduced Three Dimensional Structure of Cry1Ab16 Toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis AC11.


ABSTRACT: The first theoretical structural model of newly reported Cry1Ab16 ?-endotoxin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis AC11 was predicted using homology modeling technique. Cry1Ab16 resembles the Cry1Aa protein structure by sharing a common three domains structure responsible in pore forming and specificity determination along with few structural deviations. The main differences between the two is in the length of loops, absence of ?7b, ?9a, ?10b, ?11a and presence of additional ?12b, ?13 components while ?10a is spatially located at downstream position in Cry1Ab16. A better understanding of the 3D structure shall be helpful in the design of domain swapping and mutagenesis experiments aimed at improving toxicity.
