Abstract excerpt

After a millennium of domestication, numerous silkworm mutants have emerged that exhibit transparent epidermis, which is caused by abnormally low levels of uric acid. We identified the Bombyx mori gene Bmcap (BMSK0003832) as the homolog of cappuccino, a subunit of the biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex-1 (BLOC-1) that has been extensively characterized in human, mouse, and insect species, by...
