(57) [Summary]nThe present invention relates, in part, to an isolated nucleic acid molecule (polynucleotide) encoding a Sistocerca americana (a herbivorous orthoptera) glutamate-gated chloride channel. The present invention also provides a recombinant vector and a recombinant host containing a DNA fragment encoding a cystcelca americana glutamate-dependent chloride channel, a substantially purified form of a related cystcelka americana glutamate-dependent chloride channel, and the like. And related methods related to the identification of compounds that modulate related cystselca americana glutamate-gated chloride channels, which may be useful as insecticides. |
