Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on understanding how the Cry11Ba toxin interacts with specific binding proteins in the larval midgut of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae.
- Prior research identified two proteins, AgAPN2 and AgALP1, as receptors for Cry11Ba, but a different protein, AgCad1, showed low binding affinity and was not confirmed as a receptor.
- The new findings highlight AgCad2 as a potential high-affinity receptor for Cry11Ba, suggesting it plays a significant role in the toxin's mode of action in A. gambiae larvae.
