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 …

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 …

Isolation and characterization of the tubuliform spidroin 1 promoter from the black widow spider, Latrodectus Hesperus
… known about the transcriptional regulation of spider silk as most studies have focused on the material properties of silks. We isolated and mapped the TuSp1 core promoter from the black widow spider, Latrodectus hesperus. Using a genomic DNA walking strategy, we have isolated an upstream …
