Coelomic fluid of the Lumbricid Eisenia fetida contains a 42-kDa pattern recognition protein named coelomic cytolytic factor (CCF) that binds microbial cell wall components and triggers the activation of the prophenoloxidase cascade, an important invertebrate defense pathway. Here we report on the sequence characterization of CCF-like molecules of other Lumbricids: Aporrectodea caliginosa, Aporrectodea icterica, Aporrectodea longa, Aporrectodea rosea, Dendrobaena veneta, Lumbricus rubellus and Lumbricus terrestris, and show that CCF from E. fetida has a broader saccharide-binding specificity, being the only one recognizing N,N'-diacetylchitobiose. We suggest that the broad recognition repertoire of E. fetida CCF reflects a particular microbial environment this species lives in.
