Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a category of most well recognized pattern recognition molecules that act on a vital role in both innate and adaptive immunity. In the present study, a novel toll-like receptor (McTLRw) was identified and characterized in thick shell mussel Mytilus coruscus. McTLRw possesses one intracellular Toll/interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor (TIR) domain, one transmembrane region (TM), one leucine rich repeat N-terminal domain (LRR_NT) and a few of leucine-rich repeats (LRRs), which all are common in typical TLRs. McTLRw transcripts were constitutively expressed in all examined tissues with higher expression levels in immune related tissues, and were significantly induced in haemocytes with the challenges of live Vibrio alginolyticus, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), peptidoglycans (PGN) and beta-glucan (GLU), but not induced by polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C). rMcTLRw exhibited affinity to LPS, PGN and GLU while no affinity to poly I:C. Further, the downstream of TLR signaling pathway myeloid differentiation factor 88a (MyD88a), interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-4 (IRAK4) and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) were significantly repressed in McTLRw silenced mussels while challenged with LPS. These results collectively indicated that McTLRw is one member of TLR family and involved in immune response to against invaders by taking participate in TLR mediated signaling pathway.
