title: Enhanced production of secretory beta1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2 fusion protein into hemolymph of Bombyx mori larvae using recombinant BmNPV bacmid integrated signal sequence.
abstract: The enhanced secretion of beta1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 2 (beta3GnT2) fusion protein into the hemolymph of Bombyx mori larvae was studied using a recombinant B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) bacmid integrating seven signal sequences. When the BmNPV bacmid encoding the signal sequences from the silkworm B. mori bombyxin (bx) and B. mori prophenoloxidase-activating enzyme (ppae) was injected into silkworm larvae, 56.1 and 51.5mU/ml beta3GnT, respectively, were secreted into the hemolymph of silkworm larvae. For bx, 97.3% of the total beta3GnT activity was secreted into hemolymph, and only 1.1% remained in the intestines of silkworm larvae. For ppae, 90.8% of the total beta3GnT activity was secreted to the hemolymph, but 7.8% remained in the intestines of silkworm larvae. Using the BmNPV bacmid encoding bx, the amount of secreted beta3GnT was 91mug per larva, which was 2.5% of the total amount of protein in the hemolymph.
