agriculture | engineering strategy for the creation of a plant-tolerated, zymogen-like form of an otherwise toxic protein. Engineering of a random propeptide library at the C-terminal end of ADP-ribosyltranferase Vip2 and selecting for malfunctional enzyme variants in yeast leads to a proenzyme proVip2 which possesses reduced enzymatic activity as compared with the wild-type Vip2 protein, but remains a potent toxin toward rootworm larvae. The zymogenized Vip2 can be proteolytically activated by rootworm digestive enzyme machinery | Bacillus cereus |
