As a neonicotinoid pesticide, imidacloprid kills insects by irreversibly binding to nicotinic acetyl choline receptors, heavily interfering with neuronal transmission which can kill an insect at high doses. Due to this high level of specificity however mechanisms of resistance have evolved, most notably in the whitefly, possessing this variant of CYP6CM1. Capable of hydroxylating the 5th carbon of imidacloprid faster than other variants, CYP6CM!vQ bestows a partially protective effect against imidacloprid for an organism harboring this gene [1]. | As a neonicotinoid pesticide, imidacloprid kills insects by irreversibly binding to nicotinic acetyl choline receptors, heavily interfering with neuronal transmission which can kill an insect at high doses.

Background of CYP6CM1vQ
As a neonicotinoid pesticide, imidacloprid kills insects by irreversibly binding to nicotinic acetyl choline receptors, heavily interfering with neuronal transmission which can kill an insect at high doses. Due to this high level of specificity however mechanisms of resistance have evolved, most notably in the whitefly, possessing this variant of CYP6CM1. Capable of hydroxylating the 5th carbon of imidacloprid faster than other variants, CYP6CM!vQ bestows a partially protective effect against imidacloprid for an organism harboring this gene [1].
This coding sequence was synthesized and is codon optimized for E. coli. It was originally identified in Bemisia tabaci, the silverleaf whitefly [1]. This part is also used in BBa_K1813011.
