Rab proteins are small GTPases that play essential roles in vesicle transport. In this study, we examined the expression of Rab proteins and neuropeptide hormones in the brain of the silkworm,Bombyx mori. We produced antibodies againstB. moriRab1 and Rab14 in rabbits. Immunoblotting of samples of brain tissue fromB. morirevealed a single band for each antibody. Rab1 and Rab14 immunohistochemical labeling in the brain ofB. moriwas restricted to neurons of the pars intercerebralis and dorsolateral protocerebrum. Rab1, Rab7 and Rab14 co-localized with bombyxin. Rab1 and Rab7 co-localized with eclosion hormone. Rab1 co-localized with prothoracicotropic hormone. These results suggest that Rab1, Rab7 and Rab14 may be involved in neuropeptide transport in the brain ofB. mori.This is the first report on the specificity of Rab proteins for the secretion of different neuropeptides in insects.
