    Abstract: Disclosed are a means which enables simple and rapid detection of the presence or absence, and of the degree, of HR activity in an individual, and a means which is useful for detection and treatment of homologous recombination-restored cancer for which no treatment means is available at present. The nucleic acid construct of the present invention is a nucleic acid construct comprising a set of a first nucleic acid molecule and a second nucleic acid molecule, the first nucleic acid molecule comprising: a promoter region; and a mutant gene sequence operably linked downstream thereof, the mutant gene sequence being constituted by a gene sequence encoding a protein and a cleavage site arranged inside thereof; the second nucleic acid molecule comprising a complementation region capable of replacing, by homologous recombination, a partial region comprising the cleavage site in the mutant gene sequence, the complementation region being constituted by a first homologous region and a second homologous region. The construct is useful as a measurement reagent or kit for homologous recombination activity, a diagnostic agent for homologous recombination-deficient cancer, a therapeutic agent for homologous recombination-restored cancer, or the like.

    Abstract: A pesticidal protein class exhibiting toxic activity against Coleopteran, Lepidopteran, and Hemipteran pest species is disclosed, and includes, but is not limited to, TIC5290. DNA constructs are provided which contain a recombinant nucleic acid sequence encoding the TIC5290 pesticidal protein. Transgenic plants, plant cells, seed, and plant parts resistant to Lepidopteran, Coleopteran and Hemipteran infestation are provided which contain recombinant nucleic acid sequences encoding the TIC5290 pesticidal protein of the present invention. Methods for detecting the presence of the recombinant nucleic acid sequences or the protein of the present invention in a biological sample, and methods of controlling Coleopteran, Lepidopteran, and Hemipteran species pests using the TIC5290 pesticidal protein are also provided.
