Pesticidal proteins exhibiting toxic activity against Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, and Hemipteran pest species are disclosed, and include, but are not limited to, TIC 13074, TIC 13035, and TIC21363. DNA constructs are provided which encode the disclosed pesticidal proteins. 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 pesticidal proteins of the present invention, and vectors are described which contain at least a coding sequence for expression and the delivery of the encoded toxin proteins. Methods for detecting the presence of the recombinant nucleic acid sequences or the proteins of the present invention in a biological sample, and methods of controlling Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, and Hemipteran species pests using TIC 13074, TIC 13035, and TIC21363 and related pesticidal proteins are also provided. Methods forexpression in soil bacterium are also provided.
