An enhancin-like gene was cloned from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strain GS8 isolated from soil samples in china.The sequence analysis revealed that an open reading frame (ORF) of 2202 nucleotides encoding a protein containing 733 amino acids with a molecular mass of 84 kDa.The enhancin-like protein showed 100% identity to Bel protein (FJ644935) and 23%-41% identity to viral enhancin proteins; in the 252 to 261 amino-acid sequence of enhancin-like protein,a conserved metal binding motif (HEIAH) similar to that in the reported bacterial enhancin-like proteins was found (HEXXH in viral enhancin protein),which indicated that the enhancin-like protein belongs to metalloprotease.The purified enhancin-like protein was fed together with Cry9Ea to Spodopera exigua and Trichoplusia ni larvae,but no significant increase in toxicity was observed.
