Silkworm spinneret LC-MSMS - Proteome profile of spinneret from the silkworm, Bombyx mori

ABSTRACT: Spinneret, which locates at the end of the silk gland, is an important tissue for silk spinning. Although it has been discovered for hundreds of years, its particular roles in silk spinning and fiber formation are still unclear. Here we report the first proteome profile of silkworm spinnerets by LC-MS/MS. Totally, 1572 non-redundant proteins and 232 differential expressed proteins were identified in the spinneret from the spinning larvae and the third day of fifth instar larvae. Silk fiber formation related proteins, such as cuticle proteins, ion-transporting proteins, muscular proteins, and energy metabolic proteins, were abundant in the spinneret. By analyzing the signal pathways, we discovered that the processes associated with energy metabolism were active in spinneret. GO enrichment analysis revealed that the differential expressed proteins were involved in energy metabolism, chitin binding, and cuticle construction. The active energy metabolism might provide abundant energy for the muscle contraction, ion and water transporting. The chitin binding and cuticle construction process might provide sufficient shear forces for silk formation. This dataset suggests that the spinneret provided a suitable physiological and biochemical environment for silk formation, and will be helpful for elucidating the functions of spinneret.

The silkworm spinneret is an important tissue for silk fibrillogenesis and spinning. All biochemical processes during silk fibrillogenesis are correlated with silk properties. Understanding the role of spinneret in silk fibrillogenesis may help to reveal the mechanism of silk fibrillogenesis as well as improve silk quality for commercial purposes. Thus, we profiled the proteome of silkworm spinneret. A total of 1572 proteins and 232 differential abundance proteins were identified. Silk fibrillog ...[more]

Project description:Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed by a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, and function in diverse biological processes. Numerous miRNAs have been identified in Bombyx mori, but the temporal expression profiles of miRNAs corresponding to each stage transition over the entire life cycle of the silkworm remain to be established. To obtain a comprehensive overview of the correlation between miRNA expression and stage transitions, we performed a whole-life test and subsequent stage-by-stage examinations on nearly one hundred miRNAs in the silkworm. Results: Our results show that miRNAs display a wide variety of expression profiles over the whole life of the silkworm, including continuous expression from embryo to adult (bmo-miR-184), up-regulation over the entire life cycle (bmo-let-7 and miR-100), down-regulation over the entire life cycle (miR-124), expression associated with embryogenesis (miR-29 and miR-92), up-regulation from early 3rd instar to pupa (miR-275), and complementary pulses in expression between miR-34b and miR-275. Stage-by-stage examinations revealed further expression patterns, such as emergence at specific time-points during embryogenesis and up-regulation of miRNA groups in late embryos (miR-1 and bantam), expression associated with stage transition between instar and molt larval stages (miR-34b), expression associated with silk gland growth and spinning activity (miR-274), continuous high expression from the spinning larval to pupal and adult stages (miR-252 and miR-31a), a coordinate expression trough in day 3 pupae of both sexes (miR-10b and miR-281), up-regulation in pupal metamorphosis of both sexes (miR-29b), and down-regulation in pupal metamorphosis of both sexes (miR-275). Conclusions: We present the full-scale expression profiles of miRNAs throughout the life cycle of Bombyx mori. The whole-life expression profile was further investigated via stage-by-stage analysis. Our data provide an important resource for more detailed functional analysis of miRNAs in this animal. In the study presented here, we performed a whole-life test and subsequent stage-by-stage examinations on nearly one hundred miRNAs in the silkworm, leading to a comprehensive overview of the correlation between miRNA expression and stage transitions. In all, 59 unique developmental timepoints were inspected in this study.
