Structural families of B. thuringiensis delta-endotoxins. Representatives of different structural classes of delta-endotoxins of B. thuringiensis are shown. Cry1Aa [PDB: 1CIY] [52] is a three-domain toxin; Cry6Aa is an alpha helical toxin (this work); Cry34 is an aegerolysin-like protein [PDB: 4JOX] [12] that acts as a binary toxin with Cry35, a Toxin_10 family protein [PDB: 4JP0] [12]; Cry51 is a member of the Etx/Mtx2 family [PDB: 4PKM] [11]; and Cyt1Aa, a member of the Bac_thur_toxin family [PDB: 3RON] [53]. All structures are to scale and colored according to secondary structure (alpha helix, red; beta strands, yellow)
