タイトル Three peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP) genes encoding potential amidase from eri-silkworm, Samia cynthia ricini.
ジャーナル Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol
Abstract Three cDNA clones encoding peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRP-B, -C and -D) were isolated from larval fat body of immunized Samia cynthia ricini. The deduced amino acid sequences show high homology to each other and also to Drosophila PGRP-LB, but rather lower homology to all of the known lepidopteran PGRPs including Samia PGRP-A, a receptor-type PGRP. The three PGRPs conserve the five amino acid residues which form the catalytic site of N-acetylmuramoyl L-alanine amidase as in Drosophila LB. The PGRP-C and -D genes were silent in naive larvae, but strongly induced in fat body by an injection of peptidoglycan. PGRP-B gene, in contrast, constitutively expressed at high levels in naive midgut, and the gene was weakly induced in fat body after injection of peptidoglycan.
