Analysis of Protein Expression Patterns of Silkworm Jinqiu and Its Cross Parents

The differences of protein expression between the improved cross breeding race Jinqiu and its parents were analyzed to discuss the gene construction, and to form a base for illuminating the molecular mechanisms of successful cross breeding in silkworm. Protein samples from silk gland, hemolymph, and midgut were separated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis （2-DE）. In the three tissues the matched protein spots between Jinqiu and its cross parents were approximately 70% with approximately 30% specific protein spots. In the matched protein spots, 9-24% was differentially expressed representing up- and down-regulated expression. These specific protein spots might be either the newly appeared, which were produced from the genic interaction of cross parents＇ genes in cross breeding, or posttranscriptionally modified, which were produced from the different modifications on the same original proteins. These results indicate that it is important for a new successful breed, by cross breeding, relying on the actions of some newly produced functional proteins from genic interaction, in addition to marshaling excellent genes of cross parents.

家蚕品种金秋及其杂交亲本的蛋白质表达谱分析

【目的】探讨家蚕杂交育成品种及其亲本蛋白水平的差异,从蛋白水平分析育成品种的基因结构,为阐明杂交育种成败的分子机理创造条件。【方法】采用蛋白质组研究技术,分析杂交亲本及其育成品种的丝腺、血淋巴和中肠的蛋白质表达谱。【结果】3种组织器官中育成品种金秋与两个亲本的匹配蛋白斑点比例只达到70%左右,剩余30%左右是各个品种的特异蛋白斑点;在匹配蛋白斑点中,还有9%～24%的蛋白表现上调和下调。这些特异蛋白可能是两个亲本的基因在杂交育成品种中产生了互作而形成的新蛋白,也可能是对相同的蛋白进行了不同的修饰而获得的修饰蛋白。【结论】新品种的育成,除了汇集亲本的优良基因外,还有赖于基因互作产生的新功能蛋白的作用。
