## Abstract From a mRNA of the brain of __Bombyx mori__, we isolated 8 cDNA clones (BRabs), each of which encodes a different member of Rabβprotein family. Four of them have more than 80% amino acid identity to the corresponding members of __Drosophila__ Rab proteins. The other 4 proteins show low
Soluble low molecular weight acidic proteins are suspected to transport stimulus molecules to the sensory neurons within insect sensilla. From the antennae of Bombyx mori, we have purified and sequenced a protein (BmorCSP1) bearing sequence similarity to a class of soluble chemosensory proteins rece
Protein inhibitors capable of inhibiting BCP (Bombyx cysteine proteinase) were found in the larval-pupal hemolymph of Bombyx mori. Two forms of the inhibitors, named BCPI (BCP inhibitor) a and BCPI b, were purified from the pupal hemolymph by heat treatment and column chromatographies on CMcellulose
## Abstract Chemosensory Proteins (CSPs) represent a family of conserved proteins found in insects that may be involved in chemosensory functions. BmorCSP1 is expressed mainly in antennae and legs of the silkworm moth __Bombyx mori__ and was cloned from antennal cDNA. Here we report the determinati
