Self-assembly in the major ampullate gland of Nephila clavipes
We present a tentative interpretation of the origin of nematic liquid crystalline order exhibited by dragline silk fibroin solutions collected from the spider Nephila clavipes. Liquid crystallinity is thought to confer certain rheological properties on the fibroin solution which are exploited during the dragline spinning process. We show that the feasibility of liquid crystallinity under physio...
متن کاملEvolution of repetitive proteins: spider silks from Nephila clavipes (Tetragnathidae) and Araneus bicentenarius (Araneidae).
Spider silks are highly repetitive proteins, characterized by regions of polyalanine and glycine-rich repeating units. We have obtained two variants of the Spidroin 1 (NCF-1) silk gene sequence from Nephila clavipes. One sequence (1726 bp) was from a cloned cDNA, and the other (1951 bp) was from PCR of genomic DNA. When these sequences are compared with each other and the previously published S...
متن کاملAn RNA Virome Associated to the Golden Orb-Weaver Spider Nephila clavipes
The golden orb-weaver spider Nephila clavipes, known for its sexual size dimorphism, is abundant and widespread in the New World. The first annotated genome of orb-weaver spiders, exploring N. clavipes, has recently been reported. The study, focused primarily on the diversity of silk specific genes, shed light into the complex evolutionary history of spiders. Furthermore, a robust transcriptome...

متن کاملAccelerating Tooth Movement: What Options We Have?
Duration of treatment is one of the main concerns of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Fixed orthodontic treatment lasts up to 2 to 3 years increasing the risk of external root resorption, periodontal problems and patient compliance [1]. Clinicians are constantly striving towards developing strategies to enhance the rate of orthodontic tooth movement. An increase in in-depth knowledge ...
