We have identified a gene that is specifically expressed during the larval-pupal transition in the silkworm, Bombyx mori and named it as (Selpt), It encodes an HTH transcription factor RNAi of Selpt at the early-wandering stage of fifth instar Bombyx larvae disrupted the 20E-triggered transcriptional cascade in the fat body, prevented tissue remodeling resulting in lethality during the larval-pupal transition.
