Background: PGLYRP4/PGRP-I beta

PGLYRP4, also known as PGRP-I beta, is a member of the peptidoglycan recognition protein family of innate immunity proteins (1, 2). Human PGLYRP4 is expressed in the skin, eyes, salivary glands, throat, tongue, esophagus, stomach, and intestine (3). Mature human PGLYRP4 contains two nonidentical PGRP domains, and it shares 77% and 74% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat PGLYRP4, respectively (1, 4). It is secreted as disulfide-linked homodimers and binds peptidoglycan (PGN) and PGN-containing Gram-positive bacteria (1, 3). PGLYRP4 is directly bactericidal against pathogenic and nonpathogenic Gram-positive bacteria, but not normal flora bacteria, suggesting that normal flora bacteria have developed resistance to this bactericidal mechanism (3, 5, 6). Its bactericidal activity requires physiological concentrations of Zn2+ (6). PGLYRP4 knockout mice are more sensitive to the development of experimental dermatitis and DSS-induced colitis than wild type mice (2, 7). In humans, PGLYRP4 single nucleotide polymorphisms have been associated with inflammatory bowel disease and increased Parkinson’s disease risk (8, 9).
