Study of the functional role of lectin from the mussel Mytilus trossulus as a factor in the immune system of the mollusk.
Keywords:
lectins, marine invertebrates, innate immunity, sea mussel Mytilus trossulusAbstract
The existence of the collagen-like domain in structure of lectin from the sea mussel Mytilus trossulus (MTL) was shown by enzyme-linked lectin assay. It was shown the change of MTL level in response to Pichia рastoris yeast contami-nation of the mollusks. It is established that binding of a lectin with yeast occurs through its carbohydrate recognition and collagen-like domains. MTL participates in protection of the invertebrate organism against influence of external pathogens, either agglutinating them, or stimulating production of cytokine-like molecules involved in innate immunity of a mussel.
