More Information
Summary:New insecticidal agents which comprise a polypeptide having a partial amino acid sequence: X ECMX DX TVCYIX N (SEQ ID NO 3) or partial amino acid sequence: CENCWQYCDR (SEQ ID NO 4) where X , X , X and X are variable amino acids; and a molecular weight of less than 6kDa, are described. Agents of this type may be obtainable from Segestria florentina or a fragment, variant or derivative thereof. Sequences encoding these toxins may be incorporated into insect viruses such as baculoviruses, or into recombinant plants in order to exert their toxic effect.
