Among disease-vectors, the evolution of the tick innate immune system is still lagging when compared to insects. Such an investigation, which was initiated, by first cloning and sequencing lectins associated in the innate immunity of invertebrates and having fibrinogen related domains, helped in the sequencing of cDNA encoding for OMFREP from the soft tick, Ornithodoros moubata. Also obtained were Ixoderin A and Ixoderin B cDNA sequences from the hard tick Ixodes ricinus. Tissue-specific expression of OMFREP showed that it was present primarily in the hemocytes and salivary glands. Ixoderin A besides sharing a similar expression profile was also expressed in the midgut. Both showed significantly high homology to the lectin Dorin M, from O. moubata. Further, phylogenetic comparisons between these molecules of the soft and hard ticks showed their relatedness to Tachylectins 5A and 5B, involved in the innate immunity of Tachypleus tridentatus and ficolins from both vertebrates and invertebrates. Ixoderin B showing tissue-specific expression only in the salivary glands and the sequence displaying certain motif differences in homology point towards a possible function different from the other two molecules. This is the first report of lectin-like sequences, with a fibrinogen-domain, from the hard tick I. ricinus and a preliminary phylogenetic study of these tick sequences with related fibrinogen-domain containing sequences highlights a possible role for them in the innate immunity of the ticks.
