Isolation and characterization of the tubuliform spidroin 1 promoter from the black widow spider, Latrodectus Hesperus
… mapped the TuSp1 core promoter from the black widow spider, Latrodectus hesperus. Using a genomic DNA walking strategy, we have isolated an upstream segment (581 bp) of genomic DNA containing the promoter as well as the first exon of the TuSp1 gene. This upstream regulatory element was able to …

Structural characterization of spider coating petide [i.e., peptide] 1 and 2 of the black widow spider, Latrodectus hesperus
… peptides found on the silk fiber of the black widow spider, spider coating peptide 1 and 2, were investigated. Using circular dichroism, it was determined that SCP-1 and SCP-2 display predominantly alpha-helical secondary structures. In temperature gradient studies, SCP-1 is structurally stable …

Molecular identification of silk proteins in the gumfooted lines and attachment discs of the black widow spider, latrodectus hesperus
… The difficulties of having a black widow spider farm to harvest silk, due to their cannibalistic nature, make recombinant expression of silk proteins a fundamental goal of spider silk research. In order to express silk fibers, cDNAs encoding the corresponding silk fiber products must …
