Polypeptide subunit(s) of invertebrate ligand controlled anion channel, useful in screening for potential plant-protection agents, are new. Polypeptides (I), involved in assembly of a ligand-controlled anion channel (II), comprising of sequence(s) that are at least 70% identical with any of 9 sequences comprising 524, 422, 397, 423, 535, 485, 496, 450 and 418 amino acids, respectively, as given in the specification. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) (II) containing (I); (2) nucleic acid (III) that encodes (I); (3) a DNA construct (IV) comprising (III) and a heterologous promoter; (4) a vector (V) containing (III) or (IV); (5) a host cell (VI) containing (III), (IV) or (V); (6) an antibody (VII) that binds specifically to (I) or (II); (7) transgenic invertebrates (VIII) containing (III) or their progeny; (8) producing (I); (9) producing (III); (10) producing (VIII); (11) discovering new plant-protection agents using (VI); (12) discovering new compounds that bind to (I) or (II); and (13) discovering new compounds that alter expression of (I). |
