摘要： Bid is a pro-apoptotic BH3-only member of the Bcl-2 superfamily that functions to link the extrinsic apoptotic pathway and the mitochondrial amplification loop of the intrinsic pathway. In this study, the expression and functions of Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) Bid (AdBid) were investigated. The AdBid cDNA sequence contains an open reading frame (ORF) of 576 nucleotides, encoding a putative protein of 191 aa. AdBid possesses the conserved BH3 interacting domain and shared 34-52% sequence identities with other amphibian Bid. mRNA expression of AdBid was most abundant in muscle. The expression level of AdBid in Chinese giant salamander muscle, kidney and spleen significantly increased after Chinese giant salamander iridovirus (GSIV) infection. Additionally, a plasmid expressing AdBid was constructed and transfected into the Chinese giant salamander muscle cell line (GSM cells). The morphology and cytopathic effect (CPE) and apoptotic process in AdBid over-expressed GSM cells was significantly enhanced during GSIV infection compared with that in control cells. Moreover, a higher level of the virus major capsid protein (MCP) gene copies and protein synthesis was confirmed in the AdBid over-expressed cells. These results indicated that AdBid played a positive role in GSIV induced apoptosis and the viral replication. This study may contribute to the better understanding on the infection mechanism of iridovirus-induced apoptosis.
