Identification of an aqueous glue protein, SCP-2, and the development of a polyclonal antiserum against the bHLH transcription factor SGSF in Latrodectus Hesperus
<p>Although numerous spider fibroins have been reported, no known silk coating peptides have been discovered. We provide the first biochemical evidence for a spider coating peptide, called SCP-2, found on gumfooted lines, scaffolding joints and egg cases. The presence of this spider coating peptide …

Expression, purification, and characterization of a novel cysteine-rich silk protein expressed in the tubuliform and aggregate glands of the black widow spider : a thesis
… to the diverse order Araneae, the black widow spider Latrodectus 4 hesperus produces high-performance silks with a broad range ofbiological functions and mechanical properties. The cob weaver spider spins different fibers by using seven specialized glands located in its abdomen. Egg case silk …

Characterization of a novel aggregate-gland-derived spider silk protein in Latrodectus Hesperus : from sequence to propsoed function
<p>Spider silk from the female black widow spider, Latrodectus hesperus, is made of extraordinary biomolecules of nature. Efforts of the scientific community to commercially synthesize silks have become a collaborating, yet competitive race, to characterize the proteins that contribute to its …

Molecular identification of silk proteins in the gumfooted lines and attachment discs of the black widow spider, latrodectus hesperus
<p>Silks from araneoid spiders have become an active area of research for material scientists, biochemists, and molecular biologists. Mechanical properties of spider silk such as elasticity, tensile strength, and toughness make the manufacturing of silk for medical sutures, body armor, ropes and …
