- W2149321668 abstract "Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) acts as a serum opsonin in innate immune defense and induces complement activation by the lectin pathway. In humans, low levels of functional serum MBL are caused by the dominant action of three single nucleotide substitutions in exon 1 that disrupt the glycine-rich backbone structure of the protein. The presence of common MBL variant alleles is associated with both infectious and autoimmune diseases. Conversely, it has also been suggested that MBL variants are maintained because of selective advantages for the host. In man, the MBL genetic system comprises one functional gene (MBL2) and one expressed pseudogene (MBL1P1), whereas the lower primate, the rhesus monkey resembles rodents with two functional MBL genes. We have investigated the molecular mechanisms behind the evolutionary loss of MBL expression from lower primates to man, including silencing of the MBL1P1 gene and the generation of MBL2 variant structural alleles and promoter polymorphisms leading to the present human MBL2 haplotypes. We present data showing that the MBL1P1 gene has been repeatedly hit throughout evolution and silenced eventually by mutations in the glycine residues of the collagen-like region. Our results indicate that the MBL1P1 gene has been selectively turned off during evolution through the same molecular mechanisms causing the MBL2 variant alleles in man, suggesting an evolutionary selection for low-producing MBL genes." @default.
