Complete genome sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis A1100, a bacterium that produces the selective cytocidal protein parasporin-5
Parasporin (PS) is a protein that shows selective cytotoxicity to cancer cells, discovered from non-insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein. Currently, PS is classified into six types based on the homology of the primary structure. Bt A1100 was isolated from the soil of Ryoanji Temple in Kyoto and produces parasporin-5.
