Multidimensional LC-tandem MS was used to investigate the protein compositions of three tissues of silkworm, Bombyx mori. A total of 162, 259, and 175 peptides from silkworm larval integument and trachea, and adult scale obtained by database search were matched to 48, 51, and 40 proteins, respectively. Forty-one cuticular proteins were identified from three tissues and covered all five cuticular protein families of silkworm. In the adult scale, all seven cuticular proteins were identified for the first time in the final pellet after SDS extraction. The majority of cuticular proteins were found in each tissue differentially, suggesting that tissue-specific cuticular proteins were involved in the building of the specialized tissues. Seventy-three non-cuticular proteins were also identified in this analysis mainly including muscular proteins, proteinases, inhibitors, transport proteins, and redox-related proteins.

Global warming and extremely high temperatures affect insect survival and distribution. In this study, we characterized the gene expression profiles of red (PAR) and green (PAG) morphs of the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) at three high temperatures (30 °C, 36 °C, and 38 °C) and three treatment durations (6 h, 12 h, and 24 h) by high-throughput sequencing. Both PAR and PAG increased the number of significantly differentially expressed genes as temperature and treatment duration increased, particularly for genes associated with stress resistance, lipid metabolism, cuticular protein expression, and the initiation of various regulatory mechanisms.

Hair is a ubiquitous and robust mammalian tissue with biological, clinical, forensic, social, and economic significance. The hair shaft proteome reflects both structural proteins, dominated by cuticular intermediate filament keratins and associated proteins, and proteins involved in the final cellular processes of terminally differentiating corneocytes prior to cornification. These distinct biological processes involve cell maintenance, biosynthesis, senescence, and xenobiotic response.

Waxy cuticle covers plant aerial organs and protects plants against environmental challenges. Although improved cuticle-associated traits are aimed at the wheat breeding programs, the mechanism governing wheat cuticular wax biosynthesis remains to be elucidated. Herein, wheat WW domain-containing protein TaCFL1 is characterized as a negative regulator of wax biosynthesis.

Cuticular waxes synthesised in the endoplasmic reticulum of epidermal cells must be exported to the outer surface of the epidermis to fulfil their barrier function. Beyond transmembrane trafficking mediated by ABC transporters, little is known about the movement of wax molecules. In this study, we characterise a mutant named sugar-associated vitrified 1 (sav1), which exhibits a vitrified phenotype and displays a reduced root length when cultivated on sugar-free medium.

Article Synopsis
- BoORP3a is an oxysterol-binding protein in the endoplasmic reticulum that potentially plays a role in cuticular wax deposition in ornamental kale.
- RNA sequencing revealed 223 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between wild-type plants and those overexpressing BoORP3a, indicating significant metabolic pathway alterations related to lipid and wax synthesis.
- The study suggests BoORP3a influences lipid metabolism, which could have important implications for breeding and improving ornamental kale.
