As an important economic mollusk in coastal areas, Octopus ocellatus dependents on innate immune system to resist the invasion of microorganisms. Lysozyme is a crucial effector owing to its significant lytic activity against bacterial pathogens during the immune responses. In this study, characteristic and immune function of an I-type lysozyme from O. ocellatus (OoLyz) was investigated. OoLyz shared a close relationship with the lysozymes from other bivalve mollusks. The mRNA of OoLyz exhibited a broad transcript in different tissues/organs, and with the greatest expression in hepatopancreas. The expression of OoLyz was significantly raised when O. ocellatus was infected by Vibrio anguillarun or Micrococcus luteus, suggesting OoLyz participated in innate immune response of host. Prokaryotic recombinant OoLyz (rOoLyz) exhibited obvious bacteriolysis ability towards both gram-negative bacteria V. anguillarum and Escherichia coli, and gram-positive bacteria M. luteus and Staphylococcus aureus. The bacteriolysis activities of rOoLyz towards gram-negative but not gram-positive bacteria was heat stable, indicating that OoLyz might clear gram-positive bacterium by enzyme-dependent mechanisms, but eliminate gram-negative microbe via enzymatic activity independent way. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that rOoLyz destroyed microbes by damaging cell wall. More importantly, the fact that rOoLyz could directly degrade the peptidoglycan, further revealed its bactericidal mechanism as a muramidase. Our results revealed the essential role of I-type lysozyme in the innate immunity of O. ocellatus, and shed new light to understand the mechanism of immune defense of mollusks.
