ABSTRACT
CD209 plays significant roles in pathogen recognition, innate and adaptive immunity, and cell-cell interactions. In the present study, a CD209 antigen-like protein E from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (designated as OnCD209E) was identified and characterized. OnCD209E contains an open reading frame (ORF) of 771 bp encoding a 257 amino acid protein, as well as the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD). Multiple sequence analysis exhibits that the amino acid sequence of OnCD209E was relatively high homologous to that of partial fish, especially the highly conserved CRD, in which four conserved disulfide-bonded cysteine residues, WIGL conserved motif and two Ca2+/carbohydrate-binding sites (EPD and WFD motifs) were founded. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western Blot revealed that OnCD209E mRNA/protein is generally expressed in all tissues examined, but with wealth in head kidney and spleen tissues. The mRNA expression of OnCD209E was significantly increased in brain, head kidney, intestine, liver, and spleen tissues in response to the stimulation with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid, Streptococcus agalactiae and Aeromonas hydrophila in vitro. Recombinant OnCD209E protein exhibited detectable bacterial binding and agglutination activity against different bacteria as well as inhibited the proliferation of tested bacteria. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that OnCD209E was mostly localized in the cell membrane. Moreover, overexpression of OnCD209E could activate nuclear factor-kappa B reporter genes in HEK-293T cells. Collectively, these results demonstrated that CD209E may potentially involve in immune response of Nile tilapia against bacterial infection.
