Ladderlectin is a member of C-type lectins (CTLs) in teleost fish and involved in innate immune defense. In this study, ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis)ladderlecin-like(PaLL-like) sequence was cloned, which encodes a polypeptide of 172 amino acids that includes a signal peptide and characteristic C-type lectin-like domains (CTLDs). Phylogenetically,PaLL-like was most closely related to its teleost counterpart from shishamo smelt (Spirinchus lanceolatus).Expression analysis revealed a ubiquitous expression profile, with highest expression detected in liver and its expression was up-regulated followingVibiro anguillaruminfection. Similar to canonical CTLs,PaLL-like exhibited carbohydrate-binidng capacities to a wide range of well-defined mono-/di-saccharides and likely conferPaLL-like the ability to agglutinate all tested bacterial, including three Gram-positive species (i.e.,Listeria monocytogenes,Staphylococcus aureusandStreptococcus iniae) and eight Gram-negative species (i.e.,Edwardsiella tarda,Aeromonas(A.)hydrophila,Escherichia coli,Vibrio(V.)harveyi,V. anguillarum,V. parahemolyticus,A. versoniandV. vulnificus), in a calcium-dependent manner. Further functional studies revealed thatPaLL-like displayed immunomodulatory activities leading to enhanced bactericidal activity of serum, pathogen opsonization and macrophage activation with increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (i.e.,PaIL-1βandPaTNF-α). Collectively, these immunomodulatory activities ofPaLL-like suppressed proliferations ofV. anguillarumin targeted tissuedin vivoand likely contributed to the increased survival rate of infected-fish. Overall, our results demonstratedPaLL-like is a critical component of innate immunity and provides protective effects against bacterial infection.
