Complex gene expression in the dragline silk producing glands of the Western black widow (Latrodectus hesperus)

BACKGROUND: Orb-web and cob-web weaving spiders spin dragline silk fibers that are among the strongest materials known. Draglines are primarily composed of MaSp1 and MaSp2, two spidroins (spider fibrous proteins) expressed in the major ampullate (MA) silk glands. Prior genetic studies of dragline si...
