A new crustin homologue (SpCrus6) involved in the antimicrobial and antiviral innate immunity in mud crab, Scylla paramamosain

Publication date: January 2019Source: Fish & Shellfish Immunology, Volume 84Author(s): Zhi-qiang Du, Yue Wang, Hong-yu Ma, Xiu-li Shen, Kai Wang, Jie Du, Xiao-dong Yu, Wen-hong Fang, Xin-cang LiAbstractCrustins play important roles in defending against bacteria in the innate immunity system of crustaceans. In present study, we identified a crustin gene in Scylla paramamosain, which was named as SpCrus6. The ORF of SpCrus6 possessed a signal peptide sequence (SPS) at the N-terminus and a WAP domain at the C-terminus. And there were 5 Proline residues, 5 Glycine and 4 Cysteine residues between SPS and WAP domain in SpCrus6. These features indicated that SpCrus6 was a new member of crustin family. The SpCrus6 mRNA transcripts were up-regulated obviously after bacteria or virus challenge. Thes...
