Abstract

The subject invention relates in part to fragments of non-cadherin Cry toxin binding proteins, wherein the fragments potentiate, or act as synergists with, the insecticidal activity of Cry proteins. In some preferred embodiments, the binding protein (a Cry protein receptor on insect midgut cells) is an aminopeptidase. In preferred embodiments, the fragment comprises a Cry protein binding region.
