Compositions and methods for conferring pesticidal activity to bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions including a coding sequence for pesticidal polypeptides are provided. The 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, isolated pesticidal nucleic acid molecules are provided. Additionally, amino acid sequences corresponding to the polynucleotides are encompassed. In particular, the present invention provides for isolated nucleic acid molecules having nucleotide sequences encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:2, the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12, as well as variants and fragments thereof.
An isolated or recombinant nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence having pesticidal activity, wherein said nucleotide sequence encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, and wherein said polypeptide comprises one or more of the amino acid substitutions selected from:
A plant having stably incorporated into its genome a DNA construct comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a protein having pesticidal activity, wherein said nucleotide sequence encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, and wherein said polypeptide comprises one or more of the amino acid substitutions selected from:
A method for protecting a plant from a pest, comprising introducing into said plant or cell thereof at least one expression vector comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a pesticidal polypeptide, wherein said nucleotide sequence encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, and wherein said polypeptide comprises one or more of the amino acid substitutions selected from:
