MCL1 signal peptide from Metarhizium anisopliae
The Mcl1 signal peptide (Mcl1ss) is from the collagen-like protein MCL1 of M. anisopliae. Mcl1ss is an 18-amino acid secretory signal peptide at the N-terminus of the MCL1 protein (Wang & St Leger, 2006).

Usage and Biology
To improve the efficiency of M. anisopliae as a fungal biopesticide, we choose to introduce the LqhIT2 toxin into the fungus. To promote the secretion of the toxin, a Mcl1ss is linked at the 5’ end of the LqhIT2 gene.
