Vitellogenin receptor selectively endocytoses female-specific and highly-expressed hemolymph proteins in the silkworm, Bombyx mori.
TLDR
BmVGR could facilitate uptake of BmVg by developing oocytes, but did not modulate in the transport of B mSP1, suggesting that BmSP1 in the ovaries was not endocytosed by BmvgR.

The POU homeodomain transcription factor POUM2 and broad complex isoform 2 transcription factor induced by 20‐hydroxyecdysone collaboratively regulate vitellogenin gene expression and egg formation…
TLDR
Cell transfection experiments indicate that BmPOUM2 binds only to BmBrC‐Z2 to collaboratively regulate BmVg expression by 20E induction to control vitellogenesis and egg formation in the silkworm and suggest that homeodomain protein PouM2 plays a novel role in regulating insect viteLLogenesis.

bmo-miR-2739 and the novel microRNA miR-167 coordinately regulate the expression of the vitellogenin receptor in Bombyx mori oogenesis
TLDR
Small RNA sequencing and screening found that bmo-miR-2739 and a novel miRNA coordinately regulate the expression of VgR in Bombyx mori (BmVgR), and suggested that these two miRNAs direct target repression by binding directly to the BmVGR 3′ untranslated region.

A new approach for comprehensively describing heterogametic sex chromosomes
TLDR
A new and simple strategy based on k-mer comparison for comprehensive analysis of the W chromosome in Bombyx mori is provided and can be employed in identifying heterogametic sex chromosomes (W and Y chromosomes) in many other species where genomic information is still scarce.

MicroRNAs bmo-miR-2739 and novel-miR-167 coordinately regulate the expression of the vitellogenin receptor in Bombyx mori oogenesis.
TLDR
The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the function of miRNA during ovarian development of a lepidopteran and suggest a new strategy for controlling insect reproduction.

The POU Transcription Factor POU-M2 Regulates Vitellogenin Receptor Gene Expression in the Silkworm, Bombyx mori
TLDR
A novel function for the POU factor in silkworm oogenesis is suggested by its involvement in BmVgR regulation and the understanding of POU factors in insect VgR expression is expanded.

Lepidopteran wing scales contain abundant cross-linked film-forming histidine-rich cuticular proteins
TLDR
A distinctive class of histidine rich (His-rich) CPs are identified from developing lepidopteran scales by LC-MS/MS and insights are insights into the potential application of CPs as new biomaterials.
