Disease relevance of resilin

Here we report the cloning and expression of the first exon of the Drosophila CG15920 gene as a soluble protein in Escherichia coli [1].

High impact information on resilin

A search of the Drosophila genome for gene products with similarities to the amino acid sequences of three tryptic peptides from locust (Schistocerca gregaria) resilin gave two positive results: gene products CG15920 and CG9036 [2].
The resilience (recovery after deformation) of crosslinked recombinant resilin was found to exceed that of unfilled synthetic polybutadiene, a high resilience rubber [1].
