Expression

Organism Comment Expression
Bombyx mori the transcription of PGRP-S4 is influenced differentially in different tissues, and the midgut responds to bacterial challenges most strongly additional information
Bombyx mori the enzyme expression level is significantly induced by bacterial challenges in the midgut. Six hours after feeding, Staphylococcus aureus stimulates the PGRP-S4 level to over 150fold, and the level climbs even higher to 600fold at 12 h up

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are a family of pattern recognition receptors that recognize peptidoglycans and modulate innate immune responses. Some PGRPs retain N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase activity to hydrolyse bacterial peptidoglycans Bombyx mori
physiological function short peptidoglycan recognition protein 4 (PGRP-S4) can activate prophenoloxidase (proPO). In haemolymph, it may hydrolyse peptidoglycan to kill bacteria and enhance proPO activation. The recombinant enzyme PGRP-S4 binds bacteria and different peptidoglycans. In addition, it inhibits bacterial growth of Bacillus subtilis, not of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Serratia marcescens, and hydrolyses an Escherichia coli peptidoglycan in the presence of Zn2+ Bombyx mori
