Synthesis and resorption of a humoral chymotrypsin inhibitor, CI-8, by fat body of the silkworm, Bombyx mori.
The Bombyx mori hemolymph contains up to 16 chymotrypsin inhibitors (CIs). The present in vitro culture of tissues in Grace's medium indicated that CI-8, which belongs to the largest molecular-size group of CIs with sugar moiety, is synthesized in the fat body and secreted from it during the feeding period. When the fat body from other strain which synthesizes an allelic component (CI-7) instea...
متن کاملFormation of C 8 - CI - Inhibitor , Kallikrein - CI - Inhibitor , and Plasmin - a 2 - Plasmin - Inhibitor Complexes During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Stimulation of platelets and neutrophils occurs during clinical cardiopulmonary bypass. We investigated whether the classical complement. contact. or fibrinolytic pathways are activated as potential sources of neutrophil agonists. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent “sandwich” assays specific for Cl 8-C1 -and kallikrein-C1 -inhibitor complexes respectively. we found that there was a modest increa...
متن کاملA silkworm hemolymph protein is a prophenoloxidase activation blocker
Melanization in insect hemolymph is triggered by the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns via pattern recognition receptors. The signal transduction leads to the activation of the prophenoloxidase and hence the generation of melanin. The proPO activation process must be tightly controlled to minimize the host damage caused by reactive intermediates during melanin synthesis. The...
متن کاملWhitening Effect of Storage Protein 2 from Silkworm Hemolymph
This study investigated the effects of silkworm hemolymph-derived storage protein 2 (SP2) on the whitening process in mouse B16F1 melanoma cells. After the cells were treated with various concentrations of SP2 (0.1 1.0 mg/mL), cytotoxicity, melanin contents, and differences in mRNA and protein expression associated with melanogenesis were observed. No cytotoxicity was observed when cells were t...
متن کاملStructure-Function Relationship of SW-AT-1, a Serpin-Type Protease Inhibitor in Silkworm
Although SW-AT-1, a serpin-type trypsin inhibitor from silkworm (Bombyx mori), was identified in previous study, its structure-function relationship has not been studied. In this study, SW-AT-1 was cloned from the body wall of silkworm and expressed in E. coli. rSW-AT-1 inhibited both trypsin and chymotrypsin in a concentration-dependent manner. The association rate constant for rSW-AT-1 and tr...
