US Classification:

800302, 530350, 514 23, 424 9346, 435419, 47 581SE

Abstract:

The invention provides compositions comprising polynucleotide molecules encoding certain pesticidal polypeptides which exhibit plant parasitic nematode and/or insect control properties, and are particularly directed to controlling plant parasitic pest species of nematodes and insects known to infest crop plant species. Methods for controlling pests are disclosed in which the toxic proteins are provided in the diet of the targeted plant pests. The invention also provides compositions such as nucleic acids, proteins, and plant and bacterial cells, plants, and seeds containing the nucleic acid and protein compositions, as well as methods and kits for identifying, detecting, and isolating the compositions of the present invention. The invention further provides a method of producing crops from recombinant seeds which contain the polynucleotide molecules encoding the pesticidal polypeptides of the present invention.

Abstract:

The invention provides for identification and use of crystal structures of Dicamba monooxygenase (DMO) that may be complexed with iron or cobalt cofactor and substrate (dicamba), or product (DCSA) in order to define residues important for enzymatic structure and function. Methods of using such structures are described. Data storage media comprising the crystal structural coordinate information are also described.
