U1 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (U1 snRNP) associates with 5ʹ splice sites in the form of ribonucleoprotein particles and is highly conserved among species. The physiological functions of U1 snRNP in a lepidopteran model insect Bombyx mori is mostly unknown. Here, we showed that U1 snRNP plays an important role in the development of silkworm. Knockout of U1 snRNP in silkworm showed either delayed...
