We cloned two cDNAs denoted as RT-LBP/BPI-1 and RT-LBP/BPI-2, respectively, which were derived from the mRNA of head kidney from rainbow trout. They showed structural homology with LPS-binding protein (LBP) and bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) in mammals. The full-length cDNA of RT-LBP/BPI-1 and RT-LBP/BPI-2 is 1666 and 1741 bp, respectively. Both cDNAs encoded 473 aa residues, including the amino acids conserved in mammalian LBP and BPI proteins that were assumed to be involved in LPS binding. The overall coding sequence of RT-LBP/BPI-1 has 33% amino acid homology to human LBP and 34% to human BPI, and RT-LBP/BPI-2 has 32% amino acid homology to human LBP and 33% to human BPI. Three-dimensional structure analysis by three-dimensional/one-dimensional (3D-1D) methods also demonstrated that RT-LBP/BPI-1 and RT-LBP/BPI-2 proteins showed significant similarity to human BPI, having a boomerang shape with N-terminal and C-terminal barrels. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the LBP and BPI genes seemed to be established after the divergence of mammals from teleosts. These results suggested that RT-LBP/BPI-1 and RT-LBP/BPI-2 may be a putative ortholog for mammalian LBP and/or BPI genes. This is the first study to identify the LBP family genes from nonmammalian vertebrates.
