C-type lectins (CTLs) are immune molecules that are crucial to the invertebrate innate immune system with the primary function of recognizing invading pathogens. In the present study, a novel CTL was cloned from Marsupenaeus japonicus (MjCTL), and its tissue distribution and expression patterns over time in response to white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) and Vibrio parahaemolyticus were further investigated. The open reading frame (ORF) of MjCTL was 513 bp and encoded a polypeptide of 170 amino acids, which contained a signal peptide and a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) that are typical for CTLs. MjCTL was primarily expressed in the hepatopancreas and weakly expressed in hemocytes, gill, stomach, intestine, heart, muscle and eyestalk. The expression level of MjCTL in the hepatopancreas was dramatically increased at 48 h post-injection with WSSV at a dosage of 1 x 10(5) virions. Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) pull-down assays showed that MjCTL could directly bind to several WSSV envelope proteins, including VP19, VP24, VP26 and VP28. Moreover, MjCTL displayed antibacterial activity against V. parahaemolyticus. Our results indicated that MjCTL exhibited multiple functions in innate immune response against pathogens.
