摘要
The sex-linked balanced lethal(SLBL)strains of silkworm serve as an effective system for sex-control in silkworm. To gain comprehensive insight into the effect of one sex-linked balanced lethal gene l_2, comparative proteomic analysis was carried out between the survival embryos(W~(+l1)Z~(l1+l_2)) and lethal embryos(W~(+l1)Z~(+l1l_2))before the lethal stage. The lethal stage of l_2 was confirmed by observing the typical dead embryo morphology. The two genotype embryos before lethal stage were distinguished using polymorphic simple sequence repeats(SSR) markers closely linked to l_2 on the sex chromosome. Finally, 11 differentially expressed protein spots were successfully identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry(MS). Among them, only 1 protein identified as heat shock protein 20.4(HSP20.4)was up-regulated in the lethal embryos, while the other 10 were down-regulated. The up-regulation of HSP20.4 suggests that there may be abnormal polypeptides produced in the lethal embryos. The gene ontology(GO)annotation indicated those down-regulated proteins are involved in important biological processes including embryo development, nucleoside metabolism, t RNA splicing, translation and protein folding. The biological pathway analysis showed that those down-regulated proteins are mainly involved in spindle assemblage and morphogenesis. Based on our results, we suggest that the l_2 may be the mutant expressing abnormal polypeptides. Its expression has a negative effect on mitosis and morphogenesis processes. The death of the embryos may be caused by the accumulation of abnormal polypeptides and the handicap of cell proliferation and morphogenesis.
