Nevertheless, there are still many genes that lack homology with genes in other evolutionary lineages and are left as genes with unknown functions. We constructed a gene co-expression network from the Bombyx mori ovary-derived cell line, BmN4, and attempted to infer the biological roles of uncharacterized genes based on the correlation between the function-known and unknown genes. Within this network, we focused on the co-expression modules involved in chromosome architecture, dynamics, and integrity, and selected the uncharacterized genes for subsequent RNAi-based phenotypic screening. This approach enabled the identification of 5 genes whose knockdown led to abnormalities in chromosome dynamics and spindle morphology in mitosis. One of them was a recently characterized gene, BmCenp-T, which plays a central role in building the kinetochore protein complex on the silkworm holocentric chromosomes. In this study, we suggest a method for constructing the gene co-expression network and selecting candidate genes for small-scale RNAi screening. This approach is complementary to homology-based annotation and may be useful for the analysis of lineage-specific uncharacterized genes such as orphan genes.. |

Virus-like particles (VLPs) without genomes that mimic the capsid structure of viruses are promising vaccine candidates for the prevention of NoVs infection. To produce large amounts of recombinant protein, including VLPs, the silkworm-expression vector system (silkworm-BEVS) is an efficient and powerful tool. In this study, we constructed a recombinant baculovirus that expresses VP1 protein, the major structural protein of NoV GII.4. Expression analysis showed that the baculovirus-infected silkworm pupae expressed NoV VP1 protein more efficiently than silkworm larval fat bodies. We obtained about 4.9 mg of purified NoV VP1 protein from only five silkworm pupae. The purified VP1 protein was confirmed by dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy to form VLPs of approximately 40 nm in diameter. Antisera from mice immunized with the antigen blocked NoV VLPs binding to histo-blood group antigens of pig gastric mucin and also blocked NoV infection in intestinal epithelial cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Our findings demonstrated that NoV VLP eliciting protective antibodies could be obtained in milligram quantities from a few silkworm pupae using the silkworm-BEVS.. |

Especially because of the high mortality rate in neonatal piglets, a vaccine with less production cost and high protective effect against PEDV is desired. The intrinsically assembled homotrimer of spike (S) protein on the PEDV viral membrane contributing to the host cell entry is a target of vaccine development. In this study, we designed trimerized PEDV S protein for efficient production in the silkworm-baculovirus expression vector system (silkworm-BEVS) and evaluated its immunogenicity in the mouse. The genetic fusion of the trimeric motif improved the expression of S protein in silkworm-BEVS. A small-scale screening of silkworm strains to further improve the S protein productivity finally achieved the yield of about 2 mg from the 10 mL larval serum. Mouse immunization study demonstrated that the trimerized S protein could elicit strong humoral immunity, including the S protein-specific IgG in the serum. These sera contained neutralizing antibodies that can protect Vero cells from PEDV infection. These results demonstrated that silkworm-BEVS provides a platform for the production of trimeric S proteins, which are promising subunit vaccines against coronaviruses such as PEDV.. |
