Isolation and characterization of a LPS induced MD2-like protein in Ciona intestinalis

The MD2 (Myeloid Differentiation factor-2) protein belongs to the ML superfamily. This group of proteins contain a specific lipid binding domain (ML domain) that plays an important role in lipid recognition and metabolism. In vertebrates, MD-2 is involved in innate immune response as co-receptor in the LPS/TLR4 signaling pathway; MD2 recognizes and binds the bacterial lipid A and drives the TLR4 activation. Two TLR isoforms, CiTLR-1 and CiTLR-2, were identified in Ciona intestinalis with a TIR domain most similar to human TLR4 and TLR 6 respectively. Using a PCR-based subtractive hybridization strategy for isolation of differentially expressed genes between LPS-challenged and naïve C. intes…
