To understand the low toxicity of Cry toxins in planthoppers, proteolytic activation of Cry1Ab in Nilaparvata lugens was studied. The proteolytic processing of Cry1Ab protoxin by N. lugens midgut proteases was similar to that by trypsin activated Cry1Ab. The Cry1Ab processed with N. lugens midgut proteases was highly insecticidal against Plutella xylostella. However, Cry1Ab activated either by trypsin or the gut proteases of the brown planthopper showed low toxicity in N. lugens. Binding analysis showed that activated Cry1Ab bound to brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) from N. lugens at a significantly lower level than to BBMV from P. xylostella.
