Fibrinogen-related lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins of the innate immune system that recognize glycan structures on microbial surfaces. These innate immune lectins are crucial for invertebrates as they do not rely on adaptive immunity for pathogen clearance. Here, we characterize a recombinant fibrinogen-related lectin PmFREP from the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon expressed in the Trichoplusia ni insect cell. Electron microscopy and cross-linking experiments revealed that PmFREP is a disulfide-linked dimer of pentamers distinct from other fibrinogen-related lectins. The full-length protein binds N-acetyl sugars in a Ca2+ ion-independent manner. PmFREP recognized and agglutinated Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Weak binding was detected with other bacteria, including Vibrio parahaemolyticus, but no agglutination activity was observed. The biologically active PmFREP will not only be a crucial tool to elucidate the innate immune signaling in P. monodon and other economically important species, but will also aid in detection and prevention of shrimp bacterial infectious diseases.
