桑蚕抗菌蛋白

昆虫具有完全不同于脊椎动物的抗菌应答系统，能对刺激产生快速的应答反应。近几年昆虫抗菌蛋白的研究取得了很大的进展，根据已克隆的多种桑蚕抗菌蛋白的氨基酸序列和核酸序列，可将桑蚕抗菌蛋白分为抗菌肽、Moricin、类Attacin蛋白、高脯氨酸多肽乖。通过对桑蚕抗菌蛋白基因的结构分析，讨论了抗菌蛋白基因的调控机制，并根据抗菌蛋白的结构特征，分析了可能的抗菌机制。

The Antibacterial Proteins in Silkworm (Bombyx mori):

Insects have an efficient antibacterial system, which is distinct from the system in vertebrate animals. So far, many antibacterial peptides have been isolated from silkworm(Bombyx mori), and can be classified into five major groups: cecropins, moricin, attacin-like proteins, proline-rich peptides. Here we present a review on the antibacterial peptides and its genes isolated from the silkworm, the proposed regulation mechanisms of those genes and mechanisms for the antibacterial activity of antibacterial peptides were also discussed.
