Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a specific gene, ApESR16, which encodes a 16 kDa protein in the Chinese oak silkworm, revealing its sequence, structure, and evolutionary relationships to other insect proteins.
- ApESR16 is shown to have distinct cholesterol/lipid binding sites and possesses varying degrees of sequence identity with related proteins in both lepidopteran and non-lepidopteran insects, indicating significant evolutionary divergence.
- Additionally, the expression of ApESR16 is influenced by the hormonal treatment of 20-hydroxyecdysone, suggesting its potential role in regulating diapause during the insect's developmental cycle.
The Antheraea pernyi nucleopolyhedrovirus (ApNPV) is an exclusive pathogen of A. pernyi. The intense interactions between ApNPV and A.
