Conservation of a pair of serpin 2 genes and their expression in Amphiesmenoptera.

Abstract：

:Silk secreted by the larvae of Hydropsyche angustipennis (Trichoptera) contains serpins HaSerp2A and HaSerp2B that are homologous to serpin 2 known from several lepidopterans and some other insects. The gene HaSerp2A is 2684 bp downstream from the HaSerp2B gene. The genes possess identical exon/intron segmentation (9 exons) and their sequences are nearly identical: only 8 out of 1203 nt differ in the coding region, 4 out of 567 nt in the introns and 2 out of 52 nt in 3' UTR. Both genes are highly expressed in the silk glands whereas expression in larval carcass devoid of the silk glands is hard to detect. Translation products of the genes consist of 401 amino acids, are 98.8% identical, and are secreted as 45 kDa proteins into silk. Homologous genes in similar tandem arrangement occur on chromosome 15 of Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera). The upstream gene BmSerp2B is modified in several exons and does not seem to produce functional mRNA. The gene BmSerp2A contains two copies of exon 9, of which only the second one is used. One kind of mRNA does and the other does not include exon 1, which encodes a signal peptide. The mRNA yielding secreted BmSerp2A is expressed in the posterior, and that encoding the cytoplasmic BmSerp2A in the middle silk gland region; both kinds are strongly expressed in the anterior region. The data indicate that (1) A duplication of serpin 2 gene occurred either before Trichoptera and Lepidoptera diverged as separate orders or independently in early phylogeny of either order; (2) In the caddisfly H. angustipennis, both genes are expressed specifically in the silk glands and generate proteins deposited in the silk; (3) Only one gene seems to be functional in B. mori and is expressed in a cytoplasmic and in a secreted forms in diverse organs, including the silk glands.
