We found that a Bombyx homolog of tra-2 is dispensable for the sex-specific splicing of Bmdsx pre-mRNA. Instead, a male-specific splice variant of Imp is involved in the male-specific splicing of Bmdsx. The male-specific expression of Imp is controlled by its autoregulatory function, whereby the protein product regulates the male-specific splicing of its own pre-mRNA. This suggests that Imp acts as the memory device for sex determination in the silkworm. In an attempt to identify the Fem gene of B. mori, we performed comparative analysis of de novo transcriptome assembly between male and female embryos at the sex-determining stage. Among 149 cDNAs that were expressed at more than eight-fold higher in females than in males, two cDNAs (FET-W1, FET-W2) were derived from genes located on the sex-determining region of the W chromosome. Knockdown of FETW-1 induced expression of male-type Bmdsx and ImpM in female eggs. These results suggest that FET-W1 is the most likely candidate for Fem.

我们发现tra-2的一个同源物是Bmdsx前mRNA的性别特异性剪接。相反，Imp的雄性特异性剪接变体参与Bmdsx的雄性特异性剪接。Imp的雄性特异性表达受其自身调节功能控制，由此蛋白质产物调节其自身前mRNA的雄性特异性剪接。这表明Imp是家蚕性别决定的记忆装置。为了鉴定B. Mori，我们对性别决定阶段的雄性和雌性胚胎之间的从头转录组组装进行了比较分析。在149个cDNA中，女性的表达量是男性的8倍以上，其中两个cDNA（FET-W1，FET-W2）来自位于W染色体性别决定区的基因。FETW-1的敲低诱导雌性卵中雄性型Bmdsx和ImpM的表达。这些结果表明，FET-W1是最有可能的候选人的FEM。
