| Abstract | Chicken toll-like receptor 7 (chTLR7) is a viral sensing pattern recognition receptor and detects ssRNA. The ligand binding site comprises leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) located in the ectodomain of chTLR7. Hence, any polymorphism in the binding site would modify its functional interaction with the ligand, resulting in varied strength of immune response. This study first aimed to compare the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the ligand binding site of TLR7 in three indigenous chicken breeds namely Aseel, Kadaknath, Nicobari along with an exotic breed White Leghorn. Four synonymous SNPs (P123P, I171I, N339N and L421L) and four non-synonymous SNPs (I121V, S135T, F356S and S447G) were identified among various breeds. We employed in silico tools to screen the pathogenic nsSNPs and one nsSNP was identified as having potential impact on chTLR7 protein. Moreover, sequence and structure-based methods were used to determine the effect of nsSNPs on protein stability. It revealed I121V, F356S, and S447G as decreasing the stability while S135T increasing the stability of chTLR7. Additionally, docking analysis confirmed that I121V and F356S reduced the binding affinity of ligands (R-848 and polyU) to chTLR7 protein. The results suggest that the nsSNPs found in this study could alter the ligand binding of chTLR7 and modify the immune response between different breeds further contributing to disease susceptibility or resistance. Further, in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to analyze the effect of these SNPs on susceptibility or resistance against various viral diseases in poultry. |
