Genome-wide identification and characterization of toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) in fishes.

ABSTRACT: Toll-like receptors 5 (TLR5), a member of the toll-like receptors (TLRs) family, is a class of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). It responds to vertebrate recognition of bacterial flagellin and participates in innate immune responses. However, genome-wide identification and characterization of TLR5 in fishes have not been investigated. Here, three TLR5M isotypes (TLR5Ma, TLR5Mb1, and TLR5Mb2) and a TLR5S are all extracted from fish genomes on the basis of phylogenetic and synteny analyses. We confirmed that the non-teleost fishes have one TLR5M gene, as well as additional TLR5 genes (TLR5M and TLR5S) in teleost fishes. In addition, some special teleost fishes possess two to th
