Abstract: The present invention is directed to the vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vips) modified to comprise heterologous bacterial carbohydrate binding modules and the methods of use thereof. Expression of modified proteins resulted in variations to activity against lepidopteran pest species of agricultural importance such as Corn earworm and Fall armyworm conveying broad spectrum insect control.

Abstract: The invention provides nucleic acids, polypeptides, transgenic plants, compositions and methods for conferring pesticidal activity (e.g., insecticidal activity) to bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues and seeds. Nucleic acids encoding the insecticidal proteins can be used to transform prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms to express the insecticidal proteins. The recombinant organisms or compositions containing the recombinant organisms or insecticidal proteins or in combination with an appropriate agricultural carrier can be used to control an insect pest in various environments.
