Abstract
Pre-incubation of brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) isolated from the midgut of Manduca sexta with activated Bacillus thuringiensis δ edotoxin for a short period resulted in differential inhibition of K+-dependent transport of leucine relative to the effect on K+-dependent transport of aspartic acid. The difference in I 1 2 (5 fold greater for aspartic acid than for leucine) is interpreted as the result of enhanced binding of the B. thuringiensis δ endotoxin to the leucine transport system.
