中文摘要 | Lysozyme is a key component of the innate immune system and plays an important role in antibacterial infection. In this study, we analyzed the expression and activity of a chicken-type (c-type) lysozyme (named SmLysC) from turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). SmLysC is composed of 143 residues and shares 67-90% overall sequence identities with the c-type lysozymes of a number of teleost fish. SmLysC possesses a typical c-type lysozyme domain, which contains the conserved residues E50 and D67 that form the putative catalytic site. SmLysC expression was detected, in increasing order, in head kidney, gill, heart, muscle, brain, spleen, blood, and liver. Bacterial infection caused significant inductions of SmLysC expression in head kidney, spleen, and liver in a time-dependent manner. Immunoblot analysis indicated that SmLysC has a subcellular localization in the extracellular milieu. Recombinant SmLysC (rSmLysC) was able to bind to bacterial cells and inhibit bacterial growth. Enzyme assay showed that the optimal temperature and pH of rSmLysC were 37 degrees C and pH 6.0 respectively. In contrast to rSmLysC, the mutant protein rSmLysCM1, which bears alanine substitutions at E50 and D67, displayed drastically reduced bacteriolytic activity. rSmLysC was able to inhibit the growth of several fish bacterial pathogens in a manner that depended on the dose of the protein; however, Gram-positive bacteria were in general more sensitive to rSmLysC than Gram-negative bacteria. Together these results indicate that SmLysC is a functional lysozyme that is likely to participate in innate immune defense against extracellular bacterial pathogens, in particular those of Gram-positive nature.
