Cryo-EM structures of an insecticidal Bt toxin reveal its mechanism of action on the membrane
The Vip3 family proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis are thought to exert their insecticidal activity through pore formation. Here authors present cryo-EM structures of a Vip3 family toxin in both inactive and activated forms and show the activated Vip3Bc1 in its pore forming conformation on the mem...
