Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are biosensor proteins that bind to non-self pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). beta-1,3-glucan recognition proteins (beta GRPs) play an essential role in immune recognition and signaling pathway of insect innate immunity. Here, we report the cloning and characterization of cDNA of Off beta GRP3 from Ostrinia furnacalis larvae. The Off beta GRP3 contains 1455 bp open reading frame, encoding a predicted 484 amino acid residue protein. In hemocytes, the expression levels of Off beta GRP3 in Escherichia coil-challenged group were higher than those of Bacillus subtilis-challenged group at 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12 h post injection (HPI). In fat body, Off beta GRP3 expression in both B. subtilis and E. coli-challenged group was significantly higher than that in untreated group from 4 to 10 HPI, and then the expression continuously dropped from 12 to 36 HPI. The Ofi3GRP3 expression in laminarin-injected group was higher than that in lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-injected group in various test tissues from 4 to 24 HPI. The LT50 of E. coli-infected Of beta GRP3-RNAi larvae (1.0 days) was significantly lower compared with that of E. coli infected wild-type larvae (3.0 days) (p < 0.01). Only 10.2% Sephadex G50 beads (degree 3) were completely melanized in the larvae inoculated with Off beta GRP3 dsRNA, as compared to 48.8% in control larvae (p < 0.01). A notable reduction in the PO activity and lEARase activity in hemolymph was also detected in the Of beta GRP3 knockdown larvae. Our study demonstrates that Of beta GRP3 is one of PRR members involved the PPO-activating system in 0. furnacalis larvae. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
