<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>The mitochondrial adaptor, IFN-β promoter stimulator-1 (IPS-1), also known as MAVS/VISA/Cardif, plays a key role in the signal transduction of the RIG-1/MDA5 pathway to induce the production of interferons (IFNs) and other cytokines. In the present study, Japanese flounder (<I>Paralichthys olivaceus</I>) IPS-1 cDNA was cloned from Japanese flounder spleen using PCR-based methods. The full-length cDNA has 2235 nucleotides and encodes a polypeptide of 641 amino acids. The putative Japanese flounder IPS-1 protein contains an N-terminal CARD-like domain, a central proline-rich domain, a C-terminal transmembrane domain, and exhibits similarity to other teleost counterparts ranging from 20% to 34%. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR showed that Japanese flounder IPS-1 mRNA was expressed in all tissues examined. The expression level of flounder IPS-1 gene was unchanged in viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV)-infected kidney as measured by quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR). In addition, Japanese flounder IPS-1-overexpressing cells were protected against hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV) and VHSV infection as manifested by the delayed appearance of cytopathic effect (CPE) and decreased viral titers. Expression of IFN-inducible genes including Mx, ISG15 and IRF3 were also induced in the IPS-1-overexpressing cells. These results suggest that Japanese flounder IPS-1 is involved in the antiviral immunity as a one of the adaptors in fish IFN-activation pathway.</P>

<P>To develop a multi-antigen-specific immunoglobulin new antigen receptor (IgNAR) variable (V) region phage display library, CDR3 in the V region of IgNAR from banded houndshark (Triakis scyllium) was artificially randomized, and clones specific for hen egg white lysozyme (HEL) were obtained by the biopanning method. The nucleotide sequence of CDR3 in the V region was randomly rearranged by PCR. Randomized CDR3-containing segments of the V region were ligated into T7 phage vector to construct a phage display library and resulted in a phage titer of 3.7??10(7) PFU/ml. Forty clones that contained randomized CDR3 inserts were sequenced and shown to have different nucleotide sequences. The HEL-specific clones were screened by biopanning using HEL-coated ELISA plates. After six rounds of screening, nine clones were identified as HEL-specific, eight of which showed a strong affinity to HEL in ELISA compared to a negative control (i.e., empty phage clone). The deduced amino acid sequences of CDR3 from the HEL-specific phage clones fell into four types (I-IV): type I contains a single cysteine residue and type II-IV contain two cysteine residues. These results indicated that the artificially randomized IgNAR library is useful for the rapid isolation of antigen-specific IgNAR V region without immunization of target antigen and showed that it is possible to isolate an antigen-specific IgNAR V region from this library.</P>

Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) and AFLP were used for isolation of genomic sex determination markers in Penaeus monodon. A total of 256 primer combinations were tested against 6-10 bulked genomic DNA of P. monodon. Five and one candidate female- and male-specific AFLP fragments were identified. Female-specific fragments were cloned and further characterized. SCAR markers derived from FE10M9520, FE10M10725.1, FE10M10725.2 and FE14M16340 provided the positive amplification product in both male and female P. monodon. Further analysis of these markers using SSCP and genome walk analysis indicated that they were not sex-linked. In addition, sex-specific (or differential) expression markers in ovaries and testes of P. monodon were analyzed by RAP-PCR (150 primer combinations). Twenty-one and fourteen RAP-PCR fragments specifically/differentially expressed in ovaries and testes of P. monodon were successfully cloned and sequenced. Expression patterns of 25 transcripts were tested against the first stranded cDNA of ovaries and testes of 3-month-old and broodstock-sized P. monodon (N = 5 and N = 7 - 10 for females and N = 4 and N = 5 - 7 for males, respectively). Five (FI-4, FI-44, FIII-4, FIII-39 and FIII-58) and two (M457-A01 and MII-51) derived RAP-PCR markers revealed female- and male-specific expression patterns in P. monodon. Surprisingly, MII-5 originally found in testes showed a higher expression level in ovaries than did testes of juvenile shrimps but a temporal female-specific pattern in P. monodon adults.

Differential Display PCR technique (DD-PCR) was used for the analysis of altered gene expression in hemocytes of Vibrio harveyi-infected Penaeus monodon. Forty-four combinations of arbitrary and oligo(dT) primers were used to screen for differentially expressed genes. A total of 79 differentially expressed bands could be identified from 33 primer combinations. These included 48 bands (61%) whose expression level increased and 31 bands (39%) decreased after V. harveyi challenge. Subsequently, forty-eight differential display fragments were successfully reamplified and cloned. A total of 267 clones were randomly selected and sequenced. The sequence analysis showed that 85 (31%) out of 267 clones were matched with sequences in the GenBank database which represented 24 different genes with known functions. Among the known genes, glucose transporter 1, interferon-related developmental regulator 1, lysozyme, profilin, SERPINB3, were selected for further confirmation of their differentially expression patterns by real-time PCR. The results showed increasing in expression level of the selected genes in shrimp hemocytes after microbial challenge suggesting the involvement of such genes in bacterial response in shrimp. The anti-lipopolysaccharide factor type 3 (ALFPm3) gene, previously reported in P. monodon (Supungul et al., 2002) was found among the up-regulated genes but diversity due to amino acid changes was observed. Increase in ALFPm3 transcripts upon V. harveyi injection is in accordance with that found in the previous study.
