Characterization of ATP-binding Cassette Transporter Genes in Silkworm, Bombyx Mori
Background: ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are transmembrane proteins that utilize the energy of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding and hydrolysis to transport various substrates across extra and intracellular membranes, including metabolic products, lipids and sterols, and drugs. They play important roles in various processes of life, especially in drug resistance, metabolism and de...
متن کاملThe role of ATP-binding cassette transporter A2 in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia multidrug resistance
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most prevalent hematologic malignancies in children. Although the cure rate of ALL has improved over the past decades, the most important reason for ALL treatment failure is multidrug resistance (MDR) phenomenon. The current study aims to explain the mechanisms involved in multidrug resistance of childhood ALL, and introduces ATP-binding cassette...
متن کاملSingle amino acid mutation in an ATP-binding cassette transporter gene causes resistance to Bt toxin Cry1Ab in the silkworm, Bombyx mori.
Bt toxins derived from the arthropod bacterial pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis are widely used for insect control as insecticides or in transgenic crops. Bt resistance has been found in field populations of several lepidopteran pests and in laboratory strains selected with Bt toxin. Widespread planting of crops expressing Bt toxins has raised concerns about the potential increase of resistance ...
متن کاملCharacterization of CIb1 gene promoter from silkworm, Bombyx mori.
The hemolymph chymotrypsin inhibitor b1 (CIb1) of silkworm, Bombyx mori, plays an important role in innate immunity. In order to study its encoding gene CIb1, five heterogeneous promoter fragments of 844 bp, 682 bp, 516 bp, 312 bp and 82 bp in length were cloned from genomic DNA of the p50 silkworm strain. Characterization of the CIb1 promoter was performed in vitro using the firefly luciferase...
متن کاملCharacterization of Klebsiella granulomatis pathogenic to silkworm, Bombyx mori L.
Bacterial disease of silkworm causes significant reduction of silk production leading to huge economic loss. This study aims to isolate bacteria from diseased silkworm and to determine its pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance. A strain of Klebsiella granulomatis has been isolated from silkworm haemolymph which was later identified on the basis of biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene sequencin...
