Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are important enzymes involved in phase II detoxification and function by conjugating with the thiol group of glutathione. In this study, we isolated an omega class GST from the big-belly seahorse (Hippocampus abdominalis; HaGSTO1) to study the putative xenobiotic responses and defense ability against viral and bacterial infections in this animal. The isolated HaGSTO1 gene, with a cording sequence of 720 bp, encodes a peptide of 239 amino acids. The predicted molecular mass and theoretical isoelectric point of HaGSTO1 was 27.47 kDa and 8.13, respectively. In-silico analysis of HaGSTO1 revealed a characteristic N-terminal thioredoxin-like domain and a C-terminal domain. Unlike other GSTs, the C-terminal of HaGSTO1 reached up to the N-terminal, and the N-terminal functional group was cysteine rather than tyrosine or serine, as observed in other GSTs. Phylogenetic analysis showed the evolutionary proximity of HaGSTO1 with other identified vertebrate and invertebrate GST orthologs. For the first time, we demonstrated the viral defense capability of HaGSTO1 against viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) infection. All six nucleoproteins of VHSV were significantly downregulated in HaGSTO1-overexpressing FHM cells at 24 h after infection compared with those in the control. Moreover, arsenic toxicity was significantly reduced in HaGSTO1-overexpressing FHM cells, and cell viability increased. Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that HaGSTO1 transcripts were highly expressed in the pouch and gill when compared with those in other tissues. Blood HaGSTO1 transcripts were significantly upregulated after Edwardsiella tarda, Streptococcus iniae, lipopolysaccharide, and polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid challenge experiments. Collectively, these findings suggest the involvement of HaGSTO1 in the host defense mechanism of seahorses.

Thioredoxin domain-containing protein 17 (TXNDC17) is an important, highly conserved oxidoreductase protein, ubiquitously expressed in all living organisms. It is a small (~14 kDa) protein mostly co-expressed with thioredoxin 1 (TRx1). In the present study, we obtained the TXNDC17 gene sequence from a previously constructed yellowtail clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii) (AcTXNDC17) database and studied its phylogeny as well as the protein’s molecular characteristics, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic effects. The full length of the AcTXNDC17 cDNA sequence was 862 bp with a 372 bp region encoding a 123 amino acid (aa) protein. The predicted molecular mass and isoelectric point of AcTXNDC17 were 14.2 kDa and 5.75, respectively. AcTXNDC17 contained a TRX-related protein 14 domain and a highly conserved N-terminal Cys43-Pro44-Asp45-Cys46 motif. qPCR analysis revealed that AcTXNDC17 transcripts were ubiquitously and differently expressed in all the examined tissues. AcTXNDC17 expression in the spleen tissue was significantly upregulated in a time-dependent manner upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), polyinosinic-polycytidylic (poly I:C), and Vibrio harveyi. Besides, LPSinduced intrinsic apoptotic pathway (TNF-α, caspase-8, Bid, cytochrome C, caspase-9, and caspase-3) gene expression was significantly lower in AcTXNDC17-overexpressing RAW264.7 cells, as were NF-κB activation and nitric oxide (NO) production. Furthermore, the viability of H2O2-stimulated macrophages was significantly improved under AcTXNDC17 overexpression. Collectively, our findings indicate that AcTXNDC17 is involved in the innate immune response of the yellowtail clownfish.

<P>Peroxiredoxins (Prdx) are thiol specific antioxidant enzymes that play a pivotal role in cellular oxidative stress by reducing toxic peroxide compounds into nontoxic products. In this study, we identified and characterized a peroxiredoxin 6 counterpart from Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) (AjPrdx6) at molecular, transcriptional and protein level. The identified full-length coding sequence of AjPrdx6 (669 bp) coded for a polypeptide of 223 as residues (24.9 kDa). Deduced protein of AjPrdx6 showed analogy to characteristic structural features of 1-cysteine peroxiredoxin sub-family. According to the topology of the generated phylogenetic reconstruction AjPrdx6 showed closest evolutionary relationship with Salmo salar. As detected by Quantitative real time PCR (qPCR), AjPrdx6 mRNA was constitutively expressed in all the tissues examined. Upon the immune challenges with Edwardsiella tarda, lipopolysaccharides and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid, expression of AjPrdx6 mRNA transcripts were significantly induced. The general functional properties of Prdx6 were confirmed using purified recombinant AjPrdx6 protein by deciphering its potent protective effects on cultured vero cells (kidney epithelial cell from an African green monkey) against H2O2-induced oxidative stress and protection against oxidative DNA damage elicited by mixed function oxidative (MFO) system. Altogether, our findings suggest that AjPrdx6 is a potent antioxidant protein in Japanese eels and its putative immune relevancy in pathogen stress mounted by live-bacteria or pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).
