? 2022 Elsevier B。V。Apextrin belongs to ApeC-containing proteins (ACPs) and features a signal-peptide， an N-terminal membrane attack complex component/perforin (MACPF) domain， and a C-terminal ApeC domain。 Recently， apextrin-like proteins were identified as pattern recognition receptor (PRR)， which recognize the bacterial cell wall component and participate in innate immunity。 Here， an apextrin (Rpape) was identified and characterized in Ruditapes philippinarum。 Our results showed that Rpape mRNA was significantly induced under bacterial challenges。 The Rpape recombinant protein exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and bound with Vibrio anguillarum， S。 aureus and B。 subtilis。 We found Rpape protein positively activated the NF-κB signaling cascade and increased the activity of Nitric oxide (NO)。 This study revealed the immunity role of apextrin in R。 philippinarum and provided a reference for further study on the role of apextrin in bivalves。
