摘要
C-型凝集素(C-type lectin,CTL)是存在动、植物及微生物中一类Ca2+依赖性的糖蛋白,能够识别和结合病原微生物表面的多糖物质,在机体免疫防御中起重要作用。为了解淡水育珠贝池蝶蚌(Hyriopsis schlegelii) CTL的分子特征及潜在作用,结合转录组高通量测序和末端快速扩增技术(Rapid amplification of cDNA ends,RACE)从池蝶蚌中鉴定了一条与其他物种CTL同源的c DNA序列,命名为HsCTL。该序列全长为1716 bp,包括5'端非编码区92 bp,3'端非编码区898 bp,开放阅读框长726 bp,编码241个氨基酸,预测蛋白质相对分子量为28 ku。其氨基酸序列存在一个由23个氨基酸残基组成的信号肽和一个糖配体识别结构域(carbohydrate recognition domain,CRD),CRD结构域中仅包含1个QPD (Gln-Pro-Asp)基序。序列同源性及进化分析表明,HsCTL与斑节对虾(Penaeus monodon) CTL同源性最高,达36%,而与目前Gen Bank公开的其他贝类CTLs的同源性为9.7%～18.1%。构建的系统进化树显示,HsCTL与斑节对虾和中国明对虾(Fenneropenaeus chinensiss)的同系物聚为一支,与三角帆蚌(Hyriopsis cumingii) perlucin和九孔鲍(Haliotis diversicolor) CTL聚为相邻支。通过实时荧光定量RTPCR检测发现,HsCTL的mRNA广泛分布于池蝶蚌各个组织,其中在血细胞表达量最高,外套膜和肝胰腺次之。且进一步发现,注射脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide,LPS)后,HsCTL的mRNA表达量在血细胞和肝胰腺组织中显著增加。以上结果表明,HsCTL在池蝶蚌抵抗病原微生物的免疫防御反应中可能起到重要作用,结果为进一步研究HsCTL参与池蝶蚌先天免疫的分子机制打下基础。
C-type lectins(CTLs)are Ca 2+-dependent carbohydrate-recognition proteins which are extensively present in plants,animals and microorganisms.CTLs were revealed to be able to recognize and bind the carbohydrate components on the cell surface of pathogenic microorganisms,and play crucial roles in innate immunity.To understand the molocular characterization of CTL and its potential function from a species of freshwater pearl mussel(Hyriopsis schlegelii),the cDNA sequence of one novel C-type lectin gene(named as HsCTL)in this study was cloned from H.Schlegelii for the first time by means of de novo transcriptome sequencing,combined with 5′and 3′rapid amplification of cDNA ends(RACE).The full-length cDNA consists of 1716 bp with one open reading frame(ORF)of 726 bp,encoding a polypeptide of 241 amino acids with 28 ku predicted molecular weight,one 5′-untranslated region(UTR)of 92 bp and one 3′-UTR of 898 bp.The HsCTL contained a typical signal peptide sequence with 23 amino acids and one carbohydrate recognition domain(CRD).The CRD of HsCTL was composed of 115 residues,including 6 conserved cysteine residues and a QPD(Gln-Pro-Asp)motif which has a predicted binding specificity for galactose-type sugarin immune reactions.BLASTP analysis showed that the HsCTL shared the highest identity(reaching 36%)with the ortholog in sugpo prawn(Penaeus monodon),and 9.7%-18.1%with other molluscon orthologs.The phylogenetic analysis showed that the HsCTL fell on the same branch with P.monodon and Fenneropenaeus chinensiss.And then they were clustered with Hyriopsis cumingii and Haliotis diversicolor in a big branch in the neighbor-joining tree.Tissue expression analysis showed that the HsCTL mRNA was expressed in hepatopancrea,hemocyte,mantle,gill,adductor muscle and gonad,with the highest expression in hemocyte and then in mantle,hepatopancreas,gill and adductor muscle,with the lowest expression in gonad.After challenge with lipopolysaccharide(LPS),HsCTL mRNA expression was upregulated significantly in the hemocytes and hepat
