Provided are compositions and methods for imparting insecticidal activity to bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues and seeds. Compositions comprising a coding sequence for a toxin polypeptide are provided. Coding sequences can be used in DNA constructs or expression cassettes for transformation and expression in plants and bacteria. Compositions also include transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues, and seeds. In particular, an isolated toxin nucleic acid molecule is provided. Furthermore, amino acid sequences corresponding to the polynucleotides and antibodies that specifically bind to those amino acid sequences are included. [Selection figure] None |
