摘要 | C2 domains are protein structural modules found in many eukaryotic proteins involved in signal transduction, membrane trafficking, and immune defense. Most of the studied C2 domain-containing proteins are multi-domained in structure, in which the C2 domain is an independently folded motif and plays an essential role in calcium-dependent membrane-targeting. Although C2 domains isolated from intact proteins have been studied for biological functions, no study on natural proteins containing C2 domain only has been documented. In this study, we identified a Scophthalmus maximus protein SmC2P1 that is comprised of a single C2 domain and lacks any other apparent domain structures. The deduced amino acid sequence of SmC2P1 contains 129 residues and shares 36-38% identities with the C2 domains of the perforins of several fish species. Like typical C2 domains, SmC2P1 is predicted to organize into eight beta-strands with a Ca(2+)-binding site located in inter-strand loops. SmC2P1 expression was detected, in deceasing order, in liver, spleen, blood, brain, muscle, kidney, gill, and heart. Experimental challenge of turbot with a bacterial pathogen significantly upregulated SmC2P1 expression in kidney in a time-dependent manner. Recombinant SmC2P1 purified from yeast exhibits no hemolytic activity but binds to pathogen-infected kidney lymphocytes in the presence of calcium. Furthermore, interaction of recombinant SmC2P1 with bacterium-infected lymphocytes reduced bacterial survival. These results indicate that SmC2P1 is a functional protein that is involved in host immune defense against bacterial infection. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
