• W1511741132 abstract "In the past few years a number of reviews, books and journal articles featuring silks have been published. Silks are produced by over 41,000 species of spiders (class Arachnida) and by many insects (terrestrial and aquatic), particularly in the order Lepidoptera (Foelix, 1996); they are defined as externally spun fibrous material generated from protein secretions. The cocoon silk from the domesticated silkmoth, Bombxy mori, represents one of the best characterized silks. Cocoon silks are natural composite materials that contain two core silk proteins, along with an outer adhesive protein dubbed sericin. Sericin can be removed by heat and alkaline treatment, leading to about 300 to 1,200 meters of usable fiber from each cocoon. Silk from spiders have also generated considerable scientific potential in recent years. Over the past two decades, scientists have been attempting to unravel the molecular details of spider silks because these composite materials offer a broader range of diverse mechanical properties. Spider silk fibers have remarkable mechanical properties and certain threads are superior to Nylon, Kevlar and high-tensile steel. As advances in the processes for their synthesis, processing, and extrusion continue to emerge it presents scientists with exciting opportunities for developing new classes of biomaterials. Spider silk proteins are synthesized from specialized abdominal glands that function as biofactories to produce large quantities of silk fibroins; these fibroins are spun into silks with different properties, compositions and morphologies. Spider silks have been reported to be used in the South Pacific for gill and dip nets, fishing lures, and in weaving ceremonial dresses. They have also been used clinically as sutures for centuries due to their biocompatibility, slow degradability and high tensile strength. Silks also have been shown to have piezoelectric properties and stability over a range of temperatures (Ando et al., 1980). Although cocoon silk from silkmoths has been harvested by the Chinese for over 5,000 years, the domestication of spiders for large-scale silk collection is impractical due to their cannibalistic nature. Thus, because the development of spider silk farms is improbable, the interest has shifted to the development of recombinant DNA methodologies to clone spider silk genes for expression in transgenic organisms. The cob weaver black widow spider, Latrodectus hesperus, along with the orb weaver, Nephila clavipes, are rapidly becoming model organisms for retrieving the genetic blueprints from spider silk gene family members for expression studies. The long-term goal of the silk community is to express and purify recombinant silk proteins for a wide-range of applications, including medicine, engineering and defense. Here we cover the following topics: the diversity of spider silks, the composition and mechanical properties of silks, and the natural silk extrusion pathway. By drawing upon these biochemical data and processes, we describe the development of spider silk fiber composites using truncated recombinant spider silk proteins blended with" @default.
