蜜蜂蛋白质组研究进展

Advanced Research on Honeybee Proteome

蜜蜂在自然界和人类社会中具有举足轻重的作用。蜜蜂授粉不但能够提高农作物的产量和质量,而且对维持自然界生物多样性具有重要贡献,同时蜜蜂提供给人类的蜂产品也具有较高的营养和保健功能。随着基因组测序工作的完成,作为模式生物,蜜蜂蛋白质组学研究进入了一个新的阶段。目前对蜜蜂蛋白质组的研究比较常用的是双向电泳结合质谱的研究方法,包括不同品系蜜蜂卵、幼虫、蛹、级型分化、咽下腺等发育相关蛋白质组及差异蛋白质组研究,蜜蜂毒腺、头部、胸部、血淋巴、精液、受精囊、附腺等器官和组织的蛋白质组分析,以及蜂王浆、蜂花粉、蜂毒等部分蜂产品的蛋白质组等。本文综述了近年来蜜蜂相关蛋白质组研究进展,对其今后在蜂业科学的研究应用进行了展望,以期对蜜蜂研究有所借鉴。

Honeybee plays an important role for the nature and the human. It is crucial for agriculture as a facilitator of pollination and indispensable to maintain the biological diversity of the ecological system. Also, bee products are widely used for their nutrition and health care functions to the mankind. The proteomic researches on honeybee have been ushered into a new stage since the completion of the honeybee genome sequencing project. And the combination of two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry is the most popular method in honeybee proteome investigations. This paper reviewed the advances in honeybee proteomics concerning the development of honeybee egg, larva, pupa, hypopharyngeal gland and caste differentiation, the comparison between nurses and foragers, the analysis of some tissues and organs such as honeybee head, thorax, hemolymph, venom gland, queen spermathecal gland, male accessory gland and sperm, the studies on royal jelly, pollen, honeybee venom and so on, hoping to provide some clues for future studies.
