Two arginine residues (368–369) of Cry1Ab and Cry1Ac were mutated to alanine, glutamic acid and lysine by site‐directed mutagenesis. Insecticidal activities of the mutant toxins onManduca sextaandLymantria disparlarvae were examined. Cry1Ac mutant toxins (c)RR‐AA and (c)RR‐EE and Cry1Ab mutant toxins (b)RR‐AA and (b)RR‐EE showed great reductions in toxicity against both insects. In contrast, conservatively changed (c)RR‐KK and (b)RR‐KK mutants did not alter toxicity to either insect. Binding assays with brush border membrane vesicles (BBMVs) prepared fromL. disparmidguts demonstrated that (c)RR‐AA, (c)RR‐EE, (b)RR‐AA and (b)RR‐EE bound with lower affinities compared with their respective wild‐type toxins. ToM. sextaBBMVs, (c)RR‐AA and (c)RR‐EE showed great reductions in BBMV binding. However, (b)RR‐AA and (b)RR‐EE did not alter BBMV competition patterns, despite their reduced toxicity. Further binding assays were performed with aminopeptidase N (APN) purified fromL. disparandM. sextaBBMVs using surface plasmon resonance (BIAcore). Direct correlation between toxicity and APN binding was observed for the mutant toxins using this technique. The inconsistency between BBMV and APN binding data with Cry1Ab toM. sextasuggests the possibility of a different Cry1Ab toxin‐binding mechanism or the importance of another receptor inM. sexta.
