Compositions and methods for conferring pesticidal activity to bacteria,
plants, plant cells, tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions
comprising a coding sequence for a delta-endotoxin polypeptide are
provided. The coding sequences can be used in DNA constructs or
expression cassettes for transformation and expression in plants and
bacteria. Compositions also comprise transformed bacteria, plants, plant
cells, tissues, and seeds. In particular, isolated delta-endotoxin
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 comprising
nucleotide sequences encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID
NO:2, 4, 15, 17, or 19, or the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID
NO:1, 3, 14, 16, or 18, as well as variants and fragments thereof.
