While a previous structure of the three-domain core region of Cry5B(112-698) had been reported, this structure lacked a key N-terminal extension critical to function. Here we report the structure of Cry5B(27-698) containing this N-terminal extension. This new structure adopts a distinct quaternary structure compared to the previous Cry5B(112-698) structure, and also exhibits a change in the conformation of residues 112-140 involved in linking the N-terminal extension to the three-domain core by forming a random coil and an extended alpha-helix. A role for the N-terminal extension is suggested based on a computational model of the tetramer with the conformation of residues 112-140 in its alternate alpha-helix conformation. Finally, based on the Cry5B(27-698) structure, site-directed mutagenesis studies were performed on Tyr495, which revealed that having an aromatic group or bulky group at this residue 495 is important for Cry5B toxicity.
