The balance of crystalline and amorphous regions in the fibroin structure underpins the tensile strength of bagworm silk [PDF]
Zoological Letters, 2021 Protein-based materials are considered versatile biomaterials, and their biodegradability is an advantage for sustainable development. Bagworm produces strong silk for use in unique situations throughout its life stages.

An improved method for the culture of wing discs of the wingless bagworm moth, Eumeta variegata (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2010 Adults of the wingless bagworm moth, Eumeta variegata, show remarkable sexual dimorphism. Final-instar larvae of the male have invaginated wing discs, whereas those of the female are rudimentary.

Tissue and Cell, 2011 Female adults of the bagworm moth, Eumeta variegata, lack wings completely, whereas male adults of this species have functional wings. We previously found that ecdysteroid induces apoptotic events in the female wing rudiment of E. variegata in vitro, whereas the male wing discs cultured with 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) underwent apolysis and then cell ...

The bagworm genome reveals a unique fibroin gene that provides high tensile strength. [PDF]
Commun Biol, 2019 Arthropod silk is known as a versatile tool, and its variability makes it an attractive biomaterial. Eumeta variegata is a bagworm moth (Lepidoptera, Psychidae) that uses silk throughout all life stages. Notably, the bagworm-specific uses of silk include

Conserved domains and structural motifs that differentiate closely related Rex1 and Rex3 DEDDh exoribonucleases are required for their function in yeast. [PDF]
PLoS OneThe DEDD family of exonucleases has expanded through evolution whilst retaining a conserved catalytic domain. One subgroup with closely related catalytic DEDD domain sequences includes the yeast enzymes Rex1 (RNA exonuclease 1) and Rex3, the metazoan ...
