Abstract

MARCO is a class A scavenger receptor capable of binding both gram-negative and -positive bacteria. Using the surface plasmon resonance technique, we show here that a recombinant, soluble form of MARCO, sMARCO, binds the major gram-negative and -positive bacterial surface components, lipopolysaccharide and lipoteichoic acid. Yet, the interaction of these two polyanions with sMARCO is of much lower affinity than that of polyinosinic acid, a polyanionic inhibitor of bacterial binding to MARCO. To further elucidate the ligand-binding functions of MARCO, we performed a phage display screen with sMARCO. The screening resulted in the enrichment of only a handful of phage clones. Contrary to expectations, no polyanionic peptides, but only those with a predominantly hydrophobic nature, were enriched. One peptide, VRWGSFAAWL, was displayed on two-thirds of the phages recovered after four rounds of screening. The VRWGSFAAWL phage-sMARCO interaction had significantly slower dissociation kinetics than that between sMARCO and lipopolysaccharide or lipoteichoic acid. Further work with this phage, and the second most enriched phage, displaying the peptide RLNWAWWLSY, demonstrated that both peptides bind to the SRCR domain of MARCO, and that t...Continue Reading
