ABSTRACT
Invertebrate lectins exhibit structural diversity and play crucial roles in the innate immune responses by recognizing and eliminating pathogens. In the present study, a novel lectin containing a Gal_Lectin, a CUB and a transmembrane domain was identified from the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas (defined as CgGal-CUB). CgGal-CUB mRNA was detectable in all the examined tissues with the highest expression in adductor muscle (11.00-fold of that in haemocytes, p < 0.05). The expression level of CgGal-CUB mRNA in haemocytes was significantly up-regulated at 3, 24, 48 and 72 h (8.37-fold, 12.13-fold, 4.28-fold and 10.14-fold of that in the control group, respectively) after Vibrio splendidus stimulation. The recombinant CgGal-CUB (rCgGal-CUB) displayed binding capability to Mannan (MAN), peptidoglycan (PGN), D-(+)-Galactose and L-Rhamnose monohydrate, as well as Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, V. splendidus and Vibrio anguillarum), Gram-positive bacteria (Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus sybtilis) and fungus (Pichia pastoris). rCgGal-CUB was also able to agglutinate V. splendidus, and inhibit V. splendidus growth. Furthermore, rCgGal-CUB exhibited the activities of enhancing the haemocyte phagocytosis towards V. splendidus, and the phagocytosis rate of haemocytes was descended in blockage assay with CgGal-CUB antibody. These results suggested that CgGal-CUB served as a pattern recognition receptor to bind various PAMPs and bacteria, and enhanced the haemocyte phagocytosis towards V. splendidus.
