Characterization And Antimicrobial Evaluation Of A New Spgly-Amp, Glycine-Rich Antimicrobial Peptide From The Mud Crab Scylla Paramamosain
FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY(2020)
摘要
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP) is a crucial component of the innate immune system in crustaceans. In mud crab, Scylla paramamosain, a commercially important species, a glycine-rich antimicrobial peptide (Spgly-AMP) gene was newly identified and putatively encoded a 26aa signal peptide and 37aa mature peptide. To understand the function of Spgly-AMP, the expression profile of Spgly-amp gene was characterized, which showed Spgly-amp was expressed widely in most tissues of adult crabs with the highest expression level in hemocytes. After Vibrio parahaemolyticus, PGN, or Poly I:C stimulations, the expression level of Spgly-amp was significantly up-regulated in the hemocytes. In antimicrobial assays, chemically synthesized Spgly-AMP peptides exhibited strong antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and high thermal stability after high-temperature heating. These findings in the present study verified the importance of the Spgly-AMP in defense of pathogenic bacteria infection in the mud crab and provided a promising candidate of antimicrobial agents in the crab aquaculture.
