Abstract

C-type lectins (CTLs), a group of pattern recognition receptors, are involved in regulating the immune response of insects and could be used as potential targets for pest control. However, information about roles of CTLs in the innate immunity of Tribolium castaneum, a serious, worldwide pest that damages stored grain products, is relatively scarce. Here, a CTL with dual carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) containing a highly conserved WHD (Trp53 -His54 -Asp55 ) motif was identified in T. castaneum and named as TcCTL3. Spatiotemporal analysis showed that TcCTL3 was highly expressed in all developmental stages except early eggs, and mainly distributed in central nervous system and hemolymph. The transcript levels of TcCTL3 were significantly increased after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and peptidoglycan (PGN) stimulation. Recombinant TcCTL3 was able to bind directly to LPS, PGN and all tested bacteria and induce a broad spectrum of microbial agglutination in the presence of Ca2+ . The binding was shown mainly through CRD1 domain of TcCTL3. When TcCTL3 was knocked down by RNA interference, expression of nine antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) (attacin1, attacin2, attacin3, defensins1, defensins2, coleoptericin1, coleoptericin2, cecrop...Continue Reading

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
