Tree plot showing structural relatedness of Cry11Aa and Cry11Ba to the family of 13 delta-endotoxins reported in the PDB. Structural similarity is represented on a phylogenetic tree plot. Shorter connecting lines signify closer structural similarity. Cry11Aa and Cry11Ba are structurally similar to each other, but distant from the other 13 delta-endotoxins. The closest structural homolog of Cry11Aa and Cry11Ba is Cry2Aa. The PDB ID codes are reported next to the toxin name. Species of origin are annotated in parentheses. Bta, Bti, Btj, Btk, Btm and Btt abbreviate insectidal Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies aizawai, israelensis, jegathesan, kurstaki, medellin and tenebrionis, respectively. Bt-YBT1518 is a strain displaying nematocidal activity.
