Spiders produce a diverse number of silk proteins that are well-known for their extraordinary mechanical and biological properties. Dragline silk has been the most prominent focus of research because of its exceptional high tensile strength and extensibility. In our research, we have focused on the characterization of small molecular weight proteins found within dragline and tubuliform silks. Within the black widow spider, Lactrodectus hesperus, these proteins have been named Cysteine-Rich Protein (CRP) and determined to be a family of five individual proteins. The small protein identified within the tubuliform silks has been named Egg Case Protein 3 (ECP-3). In this study, recombinant expression of ECP-3 in the pET-19b-SUMO vector was to f...
