For further research on number, type, composition and origin of Bombyx mori aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (BmaaRS) genes, in silico cloning was performed with Bombyx mori genomic and EST databases. There might be two different sets of aaRS nuclear gene in Bombxy nori genome, which encode mitochondrial BmaaRS and cytoplasmic BmaaRS, respectively. Among BmaaRS genes, there were 2 genes encoding mitochondrial BmSerRS, but no genes encoding cytoplasmic BmHisRS and mitochondrial BmGlnRS, BmLysRS, BmGlyRS, and BmThrRS. The functions of these absent genes could be directly replaced by other proteins with similar functions, or might undergo their distinct BmaaRS functions based on the alternative splice of one certain BmaaRS mRNA. Evidence of EST indicated that BmaaRS performed different alternative splicing patterns. The homology comparison and advanced structural analysis of BmaaRS demonstrated the existence of extended domains of BmaaRS. This is because some different BmaaRSs contained similar domain. Moreover, BmaaRSs with similar functions possessed the similar tertiary structure. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that BmaaRS encoded by two various sources of BmaaRS genes. Mitochondrial and cytoplasmic BmaaRS had different origin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D005810 Multigene Family A set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene. Such genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome or dispersed on different chromosomes. Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D012831 Bombyx A genus of silkworm MOTHS in the family Bombycidae of the order LEPIDOPTERA. The family contains a single species, Bombyx mori from the Greek for silkworm + mulberry tree (on which it feeds). A native of Asia, it is sometimes reared in this country. It has long been raised for its SILK and after centuries of domestication it probably does not exist in nature. It is used extensively in experimental GENETICS.
