The widespread use of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry proteins in pest control has led to resistance in some lepidopteran pests. Vip3 proteins, lacking sequence homology with Cry toxins, offer a promising alternative due to distinct insecticidal mechanisms. This study investigates how modulating interactions between domain III and the N‐terminal region (P14–G22) of Vip3 proteins influences their activation efficiency and insecticidal activity.
