Construction of Baculovirus-Inducible CRISPR/Cas9 Antiviral System Targeting BmNPV in Bombyx mori [PDF]

Viruses, 2021
The silkworm Bombyx mori is an economically important insect. The sericulture industry is seriously affected by pathogen infections. Of these pathogens, Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) causes approximately 80% of the total economic losses due to

BmREEPa Is a Novel Gene that Facilitates BmNPV Entry into Silkworm Cells.

PLoS ONE, 2015
We previously established two silkworm cell lines, BmN-SWU1 and BmN-SWU2, from Bombyx mori ovaries. BmN-SWU1 cells are susceptible while BmN-SWU2 cells are highly resistant to BmNPV infection. Interestingly, we found that the entry of BmNPV into BmN-SWU2

The NPC Families Mediate BmNPV Entry

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Baculovirus is an important biological factor for controlling insect populations and represents a powerful biological tool for gene delivery and expression. However, the host receptor of baculovirus is still unknown.

SUMOylation Regulates BmNPV Replication by Moderating PKIP Intracellular Localization [PDF]

Processes, 2022
SUMOylation is a reversible covalent process between a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) and its target protein and has become a crucial regulator of protein functions. Here, we report that Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) may take advantage of the host SUMOylation system to enhance its own replication, similar to many other viruses.

Differential susceptibilities to BmNPV infection of two cell lines derived from the same silkworm ovarian tissues. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
We previously established and characterized two insect cell lines (BmN-SWU1 and BmN-SWU2) from Bombyx mori ovaries. Here, we examined their differential susceptibilities to Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) despite having originated from the same ...

CRISPR/Cpf1 multiplex genome editing system increases silkworm tolerance to BmNPV [PDF]

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2022
The CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology is now widely used in insect studies, but the use of CRISPR can be further increased to improve insect genome engineering. We established a direct mutation at multiple loci in several genes simultaneously used by CRISPR/Cpf1 multiplex genome editing technology to target the BmNPV genome.

lncR26319/miR‐2834/EndophilinA axis regulates oogenesis of the silkworm, Bombyx mori

Insect Science, Volume 30, Issue 1, Page 65-80, February 2023., 2023
Vitellogenesis, the timely production and uptake of yolk proteins, is essential for female fecundity. In the silkworm, Bombyx mori, a nucleus‐enriched long‐noncoding RNA (lncRNA) lncR26319 regulates Endophilin A (EndoA), a member of the endophilin protein family of endocytosis, by competitively binding to miR‐2834.

The distribution of covert microbial natural enemies of a globally invasive crop pest, fall armyworm, in Africa: Enemy release and spillover events

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 9, Page 1826-1841, September 2022., 2022
The infection of the invasive fall armyworm, with a natural enemy from its native range and novel pathogens from its new range, has important consequences for understanding the population ecology of invasive species and virus–insect interactions. The authors show that temporal and geographic factors are also important in understanding the distribution ...

Bacterial pigments: A colorful palette reservoir for biotechnological applications

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 981-1001, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Synthetic derivatives are currently used instead of pigments in many applicative fields, from food to feed, from pharmaceutical to diagnostic, from agronomy to industry. Progress in organic chemistry allowed to obtain rather cheap compounds covering the whole color spectrum. However, several concerns arise from this chemical approach, as it is
