Abstract:
A recombinant host transformed with a polynucleotide encoding a pesticidal polypeptide, wherein said polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence having the general formula:A1A2A3A4A5Fl(Formula I) (SEQ ID NO. 8) wherein:A1 is selected from the group consisting of A, D, F, G, M, P, S and Y; A2 is selected from the group consisting of A, D, E, F, G, N, P, S and Y; A3 is optionally present and is selected from the group consisting of A, D, F, G, L, P, R, S and Y; A4 is optionally present when A3 is.present and is selected from the group consisting of A, F, G, L, R; and Y; A5 is optionally present when A4 is present and is selected from the group consisting of A, F, L, P and R; and Fl is a flanking region which is optionally present and is selected from the group consisting of: P, PP, PPP, PPPP (SEQ ID NO. 9), and PPPPP (SEQ ID NO. 10); with the proviso that the polypeptide does not consist of YDPAP6(SEQ ID NO. 11), DYPAP6 (SEQ ID NO. 12), PAP6 (SEQ ID NO. 13), YDPAP (SEQ ID NO. 14), YDPAP2 (SEQ ID NO. 15), YDPAP3 (SEQ ID NO. 16), YDPAP4 (SEQ ID NO. 17), NPTNLH (SEQ ID NO. 18) or DF-OMe.
