White spot syndrome virus annexes a shrimp STAT to enhance expression of the immediate-early gene ie1.
Although the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway is part of the antiviral response in arthropods such as Drosophila, here we show that white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) uses a shrimp STAT as a transcription factor to enhance viral gene expression in host cells. In a series of deletion and mutation assays using the WSSV immediate-early gene i...
متن کاملTransactivation, dimerization, and DNA-binding activity of white spot syndrome virus immediate-early protein IE1.
Immediate-early proteins from many viruses function as transcriptional regulators and exhibit transactivation activity, DNA binding activity, and dimerization. In this study, we investigated these characteristics in white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) immediate-early protein 1 (IE1) and attempted to map the corresponding functional domains. Transactivation was investigated by transiently expressin...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of a PCR Method for Detecting White Spot Syndrome Virus in Shrimp
Background: White spot syndrome virus (wssv) is the causing agent for white spot disease in shrimp and many crustaceans. This disease is highly contagious and can cause death within 3–10 days under normal culture conditions. Therefore, early diagnosis of the virus is a necessity. Materials and Methods: Primers were designed for three regions of the virus genome and one region of the shrimp geno...
متن کاملAn immediate-early protein of white spot syndrome virus modulates the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase of shrimp.
WSSV interacts with integrin during infection of shrimps and modulate the focal adhesion kinase which is known as a regulator of several downstream signaling pathways. Viral protein kinases are thought to be important for virus infection by regulating the host signaling pathways. WSV083 is an immediate-early gene of white spot syndrome virus that contains a Ser/Thr protein kinase domain. So, do...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and recombinant expression of the VP28 (wsv421 gene) from Iranian white spot syndrome virus isolate
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a highly pathogenic and prevalent virus affecting shrimp culture worldwide including Iran. In the present study, a pair of primers was designed according to the sequence of VP 28 gene of WSSV in the GenBank. VP28 gene from an Iranian WSSV isolate (IrVP28) was cloned, sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) strain in order to produce VP28 protein...
