Patent ID: 7205388

Claim:
An isolated polypeptide having the amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: a) the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2; b) the amino acid sequence of a sequence variant of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said sequence variant has Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry 1A toxin binding activity and shares at least 90% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2; c) the amino acid sequence of a sequence variant of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said sequence variant has Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry 1A toxin binding activity and shares at least 95% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2; d) an amino acid sequence encoded by the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1; e) an amino acid sequence encoded by a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity across the full length of the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein said nucleotide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 encodes a polypeptide having Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry 1A toxin binding activity; and f) an amino acid sequence encoded by a nucleotide sequence having at least 95% sequence identity across the full length of the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein said nucleotide sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 encodes a polypeptide having Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry 1A toxin binding activity.
