The double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mediated RNA interference (RNAi) is widely employed in silkworm and its tissue-derived cell lines for gene function analysis. Baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) has an advantage for large-scale protein expression. Previously, combining these useful tools, we improved traditional AcMNPV-Sf9 BEVS to produce modified target glycoproteins, where the ectopic expression of Caenorhabditis elegans systemic RNAi defective-1 (SID-1) was found to be valuable for soaking RNAi. In current study, we applied CeSID-1 protein to a Bombyx mori NPV (BmNPV)-hypersensitive Bme21 cell line and investigated its properties both in soaking RNAi ability and recombinant protein expression. The soaking RNAi-mediated suppression in the Bme21 cell enables us to produce modified glycoproteins of interest in BmNPV-Bme21 BEVS.

Baculoviral expression systems, including those of Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV), are used for recombinant protein production. Four B. mori-derived (BmN4, Bm5, Bmc140, and Bme21) cell lines were infected with recombinant BmNPV viruses expressing firefly luciferase or EGFP as reporters under the control of a viral polyhedrin promoter.

The activity of the upstream promoter element (UPE) of the Bombyx mori fibroin-encoding gene was analyzed by using the major late promoter (MLP) of adenovirus 2 (Ad2) as the basal promoter. The UPE reveals remarkable stimulatory activity on the transcription of Ad2 MLP in tissue extracts prepared from the posterior silk gland where the fibroin-encoding gene is specifically expressed. This stimulation of transcription is due to an increase of initiation complex formation as shown by a one-round transcription assay.
