摘要： Although class B scavenger receptors (SR-Bs) in mammals are multifunctional molecules, the functions of SR-Bs in invertebrates remain largely unknown. In this study, we characterized an SR-B homolog, namely SpSR-B2, from Scylla paramamosain. SpSR-B2 shared high similarity with mammalian SR-Bs, and exhibited specific binding activity to ac-LDL, indicating that it may be a new member of SR-B class in invertebrates. SpSR-B2 was upregulated after challenge with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) or bacteria. Binding assays showed that SpSR-B2 specifically interacted with WSSV envelope protein VP24. Besides, SpSR-B2 could bind to all tested bacterial cells and agglutinate these bacteria. SpSR-B2 also exhibited a strong binding activity to LPS but weak binding activities to other tested polysaccharides. These findings indicated that SpSR-B2 was a potential recognition molecule for viral protein VP24 and bacterial LPS. Knockdown of SpSR-B2 resulted in dramatically decreased expressions of certain antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), and overexpression of SpSR-B2 led to the increased expression of the AMP of SpALF2, suggesting that SpSR-B2 could regulate the expression of AMPs. Taken together, this study revealed that SpSR-B2 functioned as a potential pattern recognition receptor participating in antiviral and antibacterial immunity, and provided new insights into the immune functions of invertebrate SR-Bs.
