    Notes: Abstract  A transgene reporter consisting of the bombyxin gene promoter and the green fluorescent protein coding region was introduced into intact brains of the silkworm Bombyx mori by in vitro electroporation. After in vitro culture of the brains, the fluorescence derived from the introduced reporter gene was observed in all cases in eight neurosecretory cells that had previously been identified as bombyxin-producing cells (BPCs). Although the fluorescence was not always observed in all cells, it was specific to BPCs, indicating that the reporter was under the control of the bombyxin gene promoter in a BPC-specific manner. Electroporatical introduction of a reporter gene was therefore found to be a suitable method for analyzing cell-specific expression in intact tissues and to be substitute for germ-line transmission of reporters in the transgenic system. Application of this technique enables us to analyze the cell-specific expression of transgene reporters within a few days and treat more than several dozens of the reporters within 1 month, which is difficult to do with the transgenic system.

    Notes: Abstract  Bombyxin G1 gene, a novel insulin-related peptide gene of the silkmoth Bombyx mori, has been identified. The G1 gene encodes a precursor peptide which shows 41–56% and 28% sequence identities with preprobombyxins previously characterized and human preproinsulin, respectively. The G1 gene forms a pair with bombyxin C2 gene with opposite transcriptional orientation in a bombyxin gene cluster. The bombyxin G1 mRNA in Bombyx brain was shown to locate in four pairs of medial neurosecretory cells.

    Preparation of silver tips for scanning tunneling microscopy imaging (1998)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: A simple reliable preparation method of silver tips for scanning tunneling microscopy imaging with atomic resolution is presented. The procedure is based on two-step electrochemical processing; ac electropolishing and subsequent dc electroetching. The quality of the tip is improved by applying high bias voltage pulses while the tip is within tunneling range. This indicates that the end of the tips are sharpened by field evaporation of silver ions. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Bombyxin gene expression in tissues other than brain detected by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and in situ hybridization (1996)

    Notes: Abstract Bombyxin is a 5 kDa insulin-related peptide produced in four pairs of medial neurosecretory cells in the brain of the silkmothBombyx mori. We demonstrate here the presence of bombyxin mRNA in tissues other than brain: ganglia, epidermis, testis, ovary, fat body, silk gland, Malpighian tubule, midgut, and hindgut of theBombyx fifth instar larvae. Bombyxin mRNA was detected by Oligotex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), a rapid and simple procedure of reverse transcription-PCR, and in situ hybridization. The Oligotex RT-PCR method effectively eliminated the contaminating DNA in RNA samples and amplified bombyxin mRNA efficiently. In situ hybridization of theBombyx ovary clearly demonstrated the localization of the bombyxin mRNA in the ovariole. The present study is the first demonstration of expression of brain neurosecretory peptide in tissues other than the central nervous system in insects at RNA level.
