A 20-kDa protein of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) has been shown to be necessary for the efficient expression of the 27-kDa mosquitocidal protein gene in Escherichia coli. We have investigated the effects of this 20-kDa protein on the expression of two 130-kDa mosquitocidal protein g...
