Abstrakt: Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are a family of multifunctional proteins playing vital roles in PGN metabolism and antibacterial defense, and their functions have been well-characterized in mammals, bony fishes, and insects. However, the information about the functions of amphibian long-type PGRP is rather limited. Here, we identified and cloned a long-type PGRP gene (named Xl-PGRP-L) from African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis. Xl-PGRP-L gene was detected in all orangs/tissues examined, and was rapidly induced in intestine, liver, and lung following the stimulation of PGN. Sequence analysis showed that Xl-PGRP-L possesses four Zn 2+ -binding residues (His 358 , Tyr 395 , His 470 , and Cys 478 ) required for amidase activity of catalytic PGRPs, and assays for amidase activity revealed that recombinant Xl-PGRP-L cloud degrade PGN in a Zn 2+ -dependent manner, indicating that Xl-PGRP-L is belonging to catalytic PGRPs. In addition, Xl-PGRP-L have antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria Edwardsiella tarda and Gram-positive bacteria Streptococcus agalactiae. The present investigation represents the first characterization regarding the biological activities of amphibian long-type PGRPs, thus contributes to a better understanding of the functions of tetrapod PGRPs and the molecular mechanisms of amphibian antibacterial defense.
