Abstract
Currently, identified receptors do not fully elucidate the mechanism of action for Cry2Ab. Here, the results showed that Cry2Ab decreased HaV-ATPase C expression, and there was a confirmed interaction between them. The knockdown of HaV-ATPase C reduces Cry2Ab cytotoxicity, while its overexpression enhances it. Additionally, enhanced effects against H. armigera result from the combination of Cry2Ab and V-ATPase C. These findings demonstrate that V-ATPase C acts as a functional receptor for Cry2Ab in Helicoverpa armigera, and the synergistic interaction between them offers a promising strategy to enhance Cry2Ab toxicity.
