It is well known that lysozymes are key proteins to teleosts in the innate immune system and possess high bactericidal properties. In the present study, a c-type lysozyme gene (To-lysC) was cloned from golden pompano, Trachinotus ovatus. The To-lysC cDNA is composed of 743 bp with a 36 bp of 5'-UTR, 432 bp open reading frame (ORF) and 275 bp 3'-UTR, encoding a polypeptide of 144 amino acids (GenBank accession no: KT935522). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that To-lysC showed highest similarity to Perca flavescens lysC. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that To-lysC had relatively high expression level in the head kidney, gill and brain. After Vibrio harveyi infection, transcripts of To-lysC increased and reached its peak at 12 h p.i. These results indicated that To-lysC may play an important role in innate immune response to bacteria.
众所周知,溶菌酶是硬骨鱼先天免疫系统中的关键蛋白质,具有很高的杀菌特性。在本研究中,从卵形鲳鲹(Trachinotus ovatus)中克隆了一个c型溶菌酶基因(To-lysC)。To-lysC cDNA由743 bp组成,其中5'-UTR为36 bp,开放阅读框(ORF)为432 bp,3'-UTR为275 bp,编码一个144个氨基酸的多肽(GenBank登录号:KT935522)。系统发育分析表明,To-lysC与黄鲈(Perca flavescens)lysC的相似性最高。实时定量PCR(qRT-PCR)分析表明,To-lysC在头肾、鳃和脑中具有相对较高的表达水平。哈维氏弧菌感染后,To-lysC的转录本增加,并在感染后12小时达到峰值。这些结果表明,To-lysC可能在对细菌的先天免疫反应中发挥重要作用。
