Identification, cloning and heterologous expression of a new lectin like protein in tea
Tea cultivation in India is greatly challenged by herbivores which render tea leaves
unsuitable for any downstream processing in tea industry. Helopeltis theivora (Tea mosquito
bug) is a sap sucking pest of tea leaves causing widespread tissue damage and crop loss in
North eastern India. In this study we report the expression of a new variant of Ribosome
inactivating protein from tea highly induced by tea mosquito bug. The heterologously
expressed protein is 110 amino acids long and characterized by the presence of QXW motifs …
