Sequence Analysis and Functional Interpretation of α-Amylase Receptor from Anopheles albimanus Using a Molecular Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

Activated toxins interact with α-amylase receptor on the brush border membrane vesicle (BBMV) of the midgut epithelium, which activates intracellular oncotic pathways and leads to cell death. In order to decipher the mechanism of process how toxins interact with their receptors, it is essential to investigate their three-dimensional structure. The three-dimensional structure of α-amylase was constructed by homology modeling, based on crystal structure of Bacillus cereus oligo-1,6-glucosidase and the model was further evaluated using PROSA energy and ERRAT. The substrate binding pocket responsible for the interactions with toxins was predicted and analyzed, and the important role of binding of toxin to binding pocket on α-amylase was discussed in the aspect of Cry4Ba and Cry11Aa toxicity.
