[PMID: 37482206 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.108966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
C-type lectins, one of the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), play significant roles in innate immune responses through binding to the pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) presented on surfaces of microorganisms. Here, a novel C-type lectin (named as MaCTL) from blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) was cloned and characterized. The open reading frame (ORF) of MaCTL is 573 bp long encoding a putative protein of 190 amino acids (aa), which contains a typical feature of signal peptide at 1-23 aa, a characteristic CRD domain at 45-178 aa and a WND/EPN motif that is required for carbohydrates-binding specificity. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that MaCTL is a novel member of CTL family and possessed the highest similarity to that of grass carp (92.11%). The qRT-PCR analysis revealed that MaCTL expressed widely in all examined normal tissues, including heart, liver, spleen, kidney, head-kidney, gill, intestine and muscle, with the higher expression in the spleen, liver and muscle. The expression of MaCTL in spleen was significantly elevated, peaking at 9 h and 6 h after LPS stimulation and Aeromonas hydrophila challenge, respectively, suggesting its association with involvement in innate immune response. The recombinant MaCTL protein (rMaCTL) agglutinated markedly both Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio vulnificus and Aeromonas hydrophila, in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Meanwhile, rMaCTL showed the binding effects on the five bacteria and four carbohydrates, such as glucose, surose, LPS and PGN. Moreover, rMaCTL could remarkably inhibit the growth of three types of bacteria in vitro. Overall, the results obtained above demonstrated firmly that MaCTL binds to carbohydrates on the surface of diverse pathogens as a PRR and elicits antimicrobial responses, which shed new light on a better understanding of antibacterial functions of CTLs in teleost fish.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Lectin protein families are diverse and multi-functional in crustaceans. The carbohydrate-binding domains (CRDs) of lectins recognize the molecular patterns associated with pathogens and orchestrate important roles in crustacean defense. In this study, two lectin homologs, a single CRD containing C-type lectin (CTL) and an L-type lectin (LTL) domain containing endoplasmic reticulum Golgi intermediate compartment 53 kDa protein (ERGIC-53) were identified from the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii. The open reading frames of MrCTL and MrERGIC-53 were 654 and 1,515 bp, encoding polypeptides of 217 and 504 amino acids, respectively. Further, MrCTL showed a 20-amino acid transmembrane helix region and 10 carbohydrate-binding residues within the CRD. MrERGIC-53 showed a signal peptide region, a type-I transmembrane region, and a coiled-coil region at the C-terminus. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a close relationship between MrCTL and MrLectin and M. nipponense CTL (MnCTL), whereas MrERGIC-53 shared high sequence identity with Eriocheir sinensis ERGIC-53 and Penaeus vannamei MBL-1. A homology-based model predicted small carbohydrate-combining sites with a metal-binding site for ligand binding (Ca2+ binding site) in MrCTL and beta-sheets connected by short loops and beta-bends forming a dome-shaped beta-barrel structure representing the LTL domain of MrERGIC-53. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction detected MrCTL and MrERGIC-53 transcripts in all examined tissues, with particularly high levels observed in hemocytes, hepatopancreas, and mucosal-associated tissues, such as the stomach and intestine. Further, the expression levels of MrCTL and MrERGIC-53 transcripts were remarkably altered after V. harveyi challenge, suggesting putative function in host innate immunity.

Identification and Characterization of a Novel Lectin from the Clam Glycymeris yessoensis and Its Functional Characterization under Microbial Stimulation and Environmental Stress. Mar Drugs 2021; 19:474. [PMID: 34564136 PMCID: PMC8466245 DOI: 10.3390/md19090474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2021] [Revised: 08/19/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Lectin from the bivalve Glycymeris yessoensis (GYL) was purified by affinity chromatography on porcine stomach mucin-Sepharose. GYL is a dimeric protein with a molecular mass of 36 kDa, as established by SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF analysis, consisting of 18 kDa subunits linked by a disulfide bridge. According to circular dichroism data, GYL is a β/α-protein with the predominance of β-structure. GYL preferentially agglutinates enzyme-treated rabbit erythrocytes and recognizes glycoproteins containing O-glycosidically linked glycans, such as porcine stomach mucin (PSM), fetuin, thyroglobulin, and ovalbumin. The amino acid sequences of five segments of GYL were acquired via mass spectrometry. The sequences have no homology with other known lectins. GYL is Ca2+-dependent and stable over a range above a pH of 8 and temperatures up to 20 °C for 30 min. GYL is a pattern recognition receptor, as it binds common pathogen-associated molecular patterns, such as peptidoglycan, LPS, β-1,3-glucan and mannan. GYL possesses a broad microbial-binding spectrum, including Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Vibrio proteolyticus), but not the fungus Candida albicans. Expression levels of GYL in the hemolymph were significantly upregulated after bacterial challenge by V. proteolyticus plus environmental stress (diesel fuel). Results indicate that GYL is probably a new member of the C-type lectin family, and may be involved in the immune response of G. yessoensis to bacterial attack.

Abstract
In this compilation we collect information about the main protein components in hemolymph and stress the continued interest in their study. The reasons for such an attention span several areas of biological, veterinarian and medical applications: from the notions for better dealing with the species - belonging to phylum Arthropoda, subphylum Crustacea, and to phylum Mollusca - of economic interest, to the development of 'marine drugs' from the peptides that, in invertebrates, act as antimicrobial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, and/or antiviral agents. Overall, the topic most often on focus is that of innate immunity operated by classes of pattern-recognition proteins. SIGNIFICANCE: The immune response in invertebrates relies on innate rather than on adaptive/acquired effectors. At a difference from the soluble and membrane-bound immunoglobulins and receptors in vertebrates, the antimicrobial, antifungal, antiprotozoal and/or antiviral agents in invertebrates interact with non-self material by targeting some common (rather than some highly specific) structural motifs. Developing this paradigm into (semi) synthetic pharmaceuticals, possibly optimized through the modeling opportunities offered by computational biochemistry, is one of the lessons today's science may learn from the study of marine invertebrates, and specifically of the proteins and peptides in their hemolymph.

Abstract
C-type lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that play important roles in immunity by serving as pattern recognition receptors. In the present study, a novel nattectin-like C-type lectin was obtained from the weather loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, designated as MaCTL. MaCTL encodes a peptide with 165 amino acids, with a signal peptide and a single C-type lectin domain (CTLD), containing a galactose-specific QPD motif and a conserved Ca2+ -binding site. Transcripts of MaCTL were significantly upregulated after immune challenge with its pathogen A. hydrophila. In vitro assays with recombinant MaCTL protein revealed that it exhibited hemagglutinating and bacterial agglutinating activities, in a Ca2+ -dependent manner. MaCTL was found to bind to a wide range of bacteria, as well as bind to bacterial polysaccharides LPS and PGN. Moreover, MaCTL displayed antimicrobial activity by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. These results collectively suggest that MaCTL is involved in the antibacterial defence of weather loach.

Abstract
Penaeid prawns are considered as most demanding fishery resources. The current study aims to purify and characterize lectin from the haemolymph of Penaeus semisulcatus. The semisulcatus-lectin was purified by affinity chromatography using mannose coupled Sepharose CL-4B column and purified lectin exhibited a single band of 66 kDa in SDS-PAGE. The purity and crystalline structure of purified lectin was confirmed by HPLC and X-ray diffraction analysis. Semisulcatus-lectin exhibited yeast agglutination activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae and agglutinated human erythrocytes. Semisulcatus-lectin was evaluated for phenol oxidase activation and phagocytic activities. It was observed that semisulcatus-lectin had antibacterial activity against Gram-negative Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Aeromonas hydrophila, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy in aquaculture industry for disease management.

Abstract
C-type lectins (CTLs) play important roles in innate immune system of crustaceans as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). In this study, a novel CTL gene was obtained from the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, designated as PcLec. PcLec encodes a peptide with 175 amino acids, with a signal peptide and a single carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD). The PcLec transcripts were specifically expressed in crayfish stomach and were induced by bacterial challenge. In vitro assays with recombinant PcLec protein revealed that it had bacterial binding activity, polysaccharide binding activity, bacterial agglutination activity, and antimicrobial activity. Most importantly, PcLec knockdown significantly impaired the survivability of crayfish upon oral infection with its pathogen A. hydrophila. According to these results, we infer that the PcLec plays a crucial role in antibacterial defense of crayfish.
