The Expression, Purification, and Characterization of a Ras Oncogene (Bras2) in Silkworm (Bombyx mori)

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The Ras oncogene of silkworm pupae (Bras2) may belong to the Ras superfamily. It shares 77% of its amino acid identity with teratocarcinoma oncogene 21 (TC21) related ras viral oncogene homolog‐2 (R‐Ras2) and possesses an identical core effector region. The mRNA of Bombyx mori Bras2 has 1412 bp. The open reading frame contains 603 bp, which encodes 200

Use of Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes in Baculovirus Research and Recombinant Protein Expression: Current Trends and Future Perspectives

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The baculovirus expression system is one of the most successful and widely used eukaryotic protein expression methods. This short review will summarise the role of bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACS) as an enabling technology for the modification of the virus genome. For many years baculovirus genomes have been maintained in E.

Protection against Autoimmune Diabetes by Silkworm‐Produced GFP‐Tagged CTB‐Insulin Fusion Protein

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
In animals, oral administration of the cholera toxin B (CTB) subunit conjugated to the autoantigen insulin enhances the specific immune‐unresponsive state. This is called oral tolerance and is capable of suppressing autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D).

A hypothetical model of crossing Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus through its host midgut physical barrier.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a primary pathogen of silkworm (B. mori) that causes severe economic losses each year. However, the molecular mechanisms of silkworm-BmNPV interactions, especially the silkworm proteins that can interact with ...

Proteomic Analysis of Larval Midgut from the Silkworm (Bombyx mori)

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
The midgut is the major organ for food digestion, nutrient absorption and also a barrier for foreign substance. The 5th‐instar larval stage of silkworm is very important for larval growth, development, and silk production. In the present study, we used 2‐DE and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF‐MS ...

Identification of a new Sprouty protein responsible for the inhibition of the Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus reproduction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The rat sarcoma-extracellular signal regulated kinase mitogen-activated protein kinases pathway, one of the most ancient signaling pathways, is crucial for the defense against Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) infection.

Characterization and identification of the integrin family in silkworm, Bombyx mori [PDF]

, 2014
YesAs an important economic insect, Bombyx mori is also a useful model organism for lepidopteran insect. Integrins are evolutionarily conserved fromsponges to humans, and play vital roles inmany physiological and pathological processes.

Synchronization of in vivo MacoNPV‐A baculovirus infection by analysis of individual Mamestra configurata larval guts

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 7, Page 845-853, August 2024.
Abstract Many studies have examined the gene expression of baculoviruses during host infection by infecting cultured insect host cells; however, only a few have attempted to characterize the interaction between baculoviruses and insect larvae, which more accurately models the virus‐insect relationship.

Baculovirus: Molecular Insights on Their Diversity and Conservation

International Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
The Baculoviridae is a large group of insect viruses containing circular double‐stranded DNA genomes of 80 to 180 kbp. In this study, genome sequences from 57 baculoviruses were analyzed to reevaluate the number and identity of core genes and to understand the distribution of the remaining coding sequences.
