SUMMARY Patent of Invention: "INSECTICIDE PROTEIN, GENE ENCODING, AND ITS USE". The present invention relates to an insecticidal protein, its gene encoding and the use thereof. The insecticidal protein comprises: (a) a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2, or (b) a protein derived from (a) consisting of an amino acid sequence by substitution, deletion or addition of one or more amino acid residues of the amino acid sequences of (a) which has insecticidal activity, or (c) a protein generated by expression of nucleic acid molecules containing a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, or (d) a protein generated by expression of nucleic acid molecules containing a complementary sequence which hybridizes to SEQ ID NO: 1 under stringent conditions, or (e) a protein generated by expression of molecules of nucleic acid containing the iso nucleotide sequences encoded with the nucleotide sequences in (d). The insecticidal protein of the present invention has a high level of expression and strong toxicity against insect pests. |
