Abstract
Achieving efficient identification of silk protein requires highly sensitive analytical techniques and favorable extraction methods, which is of great significance to the research of ancient silk, especially for the controversial issue of the silk origin. In this paper, proteomics and western blot were proposed to analyze the silk proteins of Bombyx mori (B. mori) and Antheraea pernyi (A. pernyi) dissolved by different methods. First, the differences in secondary structure were detected via spectroscopy. LC-MS/MS was then employed to characterize the peptides of silk proteins precisely. LiBr solution exhibited outstanding dissolution effect on B. mori cocoon, with 87 proteins detected; while copper-ethylenediamine solution (CED) was more appropriate for A. pernyi cocoon, and 16 proteins were identified in A. pernyi-CED. In addition to fibroin and sericin, abundant seroins, enzymes, protease inhibitors, other functional proteins and uncharacterized proteins were detected. Based on the LC-MS/MS data, diagnostic antibodies for the two species were prepared, and fibroin was successfully identified by western blot assay because both dissolution methods were gentle and did not destroy the antigenic epitopes in the protein molecule. Owing to their good specificity and high sensitivity, these diagnostic antibodies have good application prospects in immunoassays of different silk species. SIGNIFICANCE: This study presents the comprehensive analysis on silk identification of proteins from B. mori and A. pernyi extracted by different methods via the proteomic and immunology as well as the conventional approaches. Great coverage of two cocoon proteomes was accomplished, which demonstrated the outstanding difference in components and abundance. Based on the proteomics analysis, the diagnostic antibodies against two species were prepared and identified the corresponding fibroin successfully in the completed protein mixtures. To our knowledge, the proteomic and immunology procedures with high efficiency, sensitivity and specificity are novel analysis on the silk identification and has great potential in the field of ancient silk detection.
