High-Toughness Silk Produced by a Transgenic Silkworm Expressing Spider (Araneus ventricosus) Dragline Silk Protein
Spider dragline silk is a natural fiber that has excellent tensile properties; however, it is difficult to produce artificially as a long, strong fiber. Here, the spider (Araneus ventricosus) dragline protein gene was cloned and a transgenic silkworm was generated, that expressed the fusion protein of the fibroin heavy chain and spider dragline protein in cocoon silk. The spider silk protein co...
متن کاملMethods for transferring gene into silkworm and expression of hGM-CSF in silk glands of transgenic silkworm
To explore efficient of different gene transfer methods and to express human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) in silk glands of transgenic silkworm, a novel transgenic vector containing a hGM-CSF controlled by silkworm fibroin heavy chain gene promoter (Pfib-H) with a neomycin resistance gene (neo) driven by BmNPV (B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus) immediate-early gene ie-...
متن کاملThe story of silk and silkworm gut.
The silkworm is one of the most astonishing of man's minor conquests. It is as intimately linked with human life as any other living thing we have, and has been so for thousands of years. During all that time it has been born and reared in captivity, a condition made possible because the females do not fly at all, and the males not very well. This creature, supposed to have originated in the wi...
متن کاملProduction of scFv-Conjugated Affinity Silk Powder by Transgenic Silkworm Technology
Bombyx mori (silkworm) silk proteins are being utilized as unique biomaterials for medical applications. Chemical modification or post-conjugation of bioactive ligands expand the applicability of silk proteins; however, the processes are elaborate and costly. In this study, we used transgenic silkworm technology to develop single-chain variable fragment (scFv)-conjugated silk fibroin. The cocoo...
متن کاملSpermidine Enhances the Silk Production by Mulberry Silkworm
Polyamines are ubiquitous low molecular weight polycationic aliphatic amines involved in diverse cellular processes. Spermidine (Spd), a polyamine, has been proved to be crucial for cell survival in various organisms. Our study reports the effect of Spd on the growth of Bombyx mori. Silkworms showed improved silk gland weight and economic parameters in the fifth instar larval stage when treated...
