the silk proteins, sericin and fibroin in silkworm, bombyx mori linn., - a review

چکیده
the domesticated silkworm, bombyx mori linn., a lepidopteran molecular model and an important economic insect that are emerging as an ideal molecular genetic resource for solving a broad range of biological problems. the silkworm, b. mori produces massive amount of silk proteins during the final stage of larval development. these proteins are stored in the middle silk gland and they are discharged through the anterior duct and spinneret, at the end of the fifth instar. two kinds of silk proteins have been distinguished as major components of silk cocoons, the first being fibroin, a fibrous protein composed of heavy (h) chain, light (l) chain and glycoprotein linked by disulfide bonds and the second being sericin a natural macromolecular protein, serving as an adhesive to unite fibroin for making silk cocoons of silkworm, b. mori. recently, silkworm is being used as biofactory for the production of useful protein using the silk gland, which has promoted the technological development in sericulture. with the above background silkworm can be classified as a value added biomaterial for medical application, application of silk protein fibroin and sericin as a biomaterial and other seri-byproducts. the present paper overviews some important studies carried out on sericin and fibroin of silkworm, bombyx mori linn.

متن کاملIntracellular transport and secretion of fibroin in the posterior silk gland of the silkworm Bombyx mori.
Intracellular transport and secretion of fibroin in the posterior silk gland cells of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, were investigated in relation to the radial microtubule and circular microtubule-microfilament systems of the cells. The silk glands were pulse-labelled for 3 min with [3H]glycine in vitro and then chased in media containing excess cold glycine and in some cases antimitotic reagents ...
متن کاملCopper in the silk formation process of Bombyx mori silkworm.
Evidence is presented here that cupric ions play a part in the natural spinning of Bombyx mori silk. Proton induced X-ray emission studies revealed that the copper content increased from the posterior part to the anterior part of silk gland, and then further increased in the silk fiber. Spectrophotometric analysis demonstrated that cupric ions formed coordination complexes with silk fibroin cha...
متن کاملPorous Materials Based on Bombyx Mori Silk Fibroin
Bombyx mori silk fibroin (SF) is one of the most important fibers among biomedical porous materials due to its superior machinability, and biocompatibility. It is also chosen for its biodegradability and bioresorbability. It is a protein-based fiber. In this paper, we have reviewed the key features of SF. Moreover we have focused on the morphous, technical processing and biocompatibility of SF ...
