Bmovo-1 Regulates Ovary Size in the Silkworm, Bombyx mori
The regulation of antagonistic OVO isoforms is critical for germline formation and differentiation in Drosophila. However, little is known about genes related to ovary development. In this study, we cloned the Bombyx mori ovo gene and investigated its four alternatively spliced isoforms. BmOVO-1, BmOVO-2 and BmOVO-3 all had four C2H2 type zinc fingers, but differed at the N-terminal ends, while...
متن کاملA novel laminin β gene BmLanB1-w regulates wing-specific cell adhesion in silkworm, Bombyx mori
Laminins are important basement membrane (BM) components with crucial roles in development. The numbers of laminin isoforms in various organisms are determined by the composition of the different α, β, and γ chains, and their coding genes, which are variable across spieces. In insects, only two α, one β, and one γ chains have been identified thus far. Here, we isolated a novel laminin β gene, B...
متن کاملbmo-miR-275 down-regulates expression of Bombyx mori sericin gene 2 in vitro
We hypothesized that bmo-miR-275 has a potential regulatory function regarding the expression of sericin gene 2 (BmSer-2). First, we examined the expression of bmo-miR-275 and its target gene BmSer-2 in seven different tissues from 5th instar day-3 silkworm larvae. The results showed that they were both specifically expressed in the middle silk gland, implying that spatio-temporal conditions ar...
متن کاملAutophagy studies in Bombyx mori
Autophagy, which is well conserved from yeast to mammals, plays essential roles in development and diseases. Using the domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, as a model insect, several reports on autophagy have been made recently. Autophagic features are observed in the midgut and fat body during the larval-pupal transition as well as the silk gland and ovarian nurse cells during the pupal stage. ...
متن کاملSex determination in Bombyx mori
We describe here the current status and future prospects of sex-determination studies in the silkworm, Bombyx mori. The sex of Bombyx is strongly controlled by the presence of the W chromosome. Although several classical studies suggested that a presumptive feminizing gene (Fem) is located at a limited portion of the W chromosome, the Fem gene has not yet been cloned. Recently, the homologues o...
