主 题:Bombyx mori Lozenge melanization response silkworm U-shaped
摘 要:Zinc finger protein,an important transcription factor,regulates gene expression associated with various physiological and pathological processes.U-shaped,belong to the Friend of GATA(FOG)transcription factor,plays a crucial role in hematopoiesis by interacting with the GATA transcription factor as a ***,little is known about its functions in *** the present study,a U-shaped cDNA was identified and characterized from the silkworm Bombyx mori and its potential roles in innate immunity *** predicted silkworm U-shaped amino acid sequence contained a classical nuclear localization signal(NLS)motif“GESSPKRRRRat position 45CU459,and arginine residues at position 456 and 478 are the critical sites of the NLS.U-shaped mRNA was detected in all tested tissues of the ***;however,the highest levels were found in the hemocytes.U-shaped mRNA expression levels were upregulated in the hemocyte after the Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus ***,U-shaped knockdown significantly reduced the melanization process and suppressed the expression of melanization-associated genes,including PPO1,PPO2,PPAE and *** addition,U-shaped interacts with Lozenge protein to regulate the innate immune response of the *** results revealed that U-shaped binds directly to Lozenge protein to modulate the melanization process and innate immune responses in silkworm.
