toxins is magnitudes <strong>of</strong> order less toxic than the<br />
crystal inclusion containing all toxins (Bravo et al.,<br />
2005). This synergistic effect <strong>and</strong> the lack <strong>of</strong> resistance<br />
is mainly due to Cyt1Aa that enhances the<br />
activity <strong>of</strong> Cry4Aa, Cry4Ba, or Cry11Aa (Bravo<br />
et al., 2005). The mechanism <strong>of</strong> synergism <strong>of</strong><br />
Cyt1Aa <strong>and</strong> Cry11Aa depends on specific interaction<br />
between these toxins since single point mutations<br />
on Cyt1Aa affected Cry11Aa binding <strong>and</strong><br />
synergism (Pérez et al., 2005). Also, it was shown<br />
that Cry11Aa domain II loop regions involved in<br />
receptor binding were also involved in binding <strong>and</strong><br />
synergism with Cyt1Aa (Pérez et al., 2005). These<br />
data led to the hypothesis that Cyt1Aa functions as a<br />
membrane-bound receptor for Cry11Aa (Perez et al.<br />
2005). Furthermore, binding <strong>of</strong> Cry11Aa to Cyt1Aa<br />
facilitates formation <strong>of</strong> Cry11Aa oligomers, which<br />
were efficient in pore-formation indicating Cyt1Aa<br />
fulfils the role <strong>of</strong> the primary cadherin receptor<br />
facilitating oligomer formation (Pérez et al., 2007).<br />
This is the first example <strong>of</strong> an insect pathogenic<br />
bacterium that carries a toxin <strong>and</strong> also its functional<br />
receptor, promoting toxin binding to target membranes<br />
<strong>and</strong> toxicity (Figure A1).<br />
