摘要： Glutaredoxin (Grx) is a class molecule oxidoreductase, which can regulate the redox state of proteins and plays a key role in antioxidant defense. However, the informations of Grx cDNA sequences and their functions are lack in decapod crustacea. In the present study, the cDNA of LvGrx 2 was cloned from the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. The open reading frame (ORF) of LvGrx 2 was 360 bp, which encoded a polypeptide of 119 amino acids. The molecular mass of the predicted protein is 12.87 kDa with an estimated pI of 8.22. Sequence alignment showed that the amino acid sequence of LvGrx 2 shares 59%, 59% and 58% identity with that of the coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae, the plateau frog Nanorana parked and the half-smooth tongue sole Cynoglossus semilaevis, respectively. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that LvGrx 2 were detected in a wide range of tissues, with highest expression in gill, hepatopancrea and intestine, and weakest expression in muscle. The expression responses of LvGrx 2 were analyzed in hepatopancrea and gill after ammonia-N stress or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. During ammonia-N exposure, the LvGrx 2 transcriptions in hepatopancrea and gill significantly up-regulated, and the peak value appeared after 12 h and 24 h exposure respectively. After LPS injection, expression levels of LvGrx 2 in hepatopancrea obviously increased in the early and late stages, while LvGrx 2 transcription in gill sharply up-regulated in the middle period. These results suggest that LvGrx 2 may play a vital role in shrimp defense system against environmental stress and pathogen infection. RNA interference experiment was designed to further probe roles of LvGrx 2 during ammonia-N exposure. Ammonia-N induced obvious improvement in expression levels of LvGrx 2, LvGrx 3, GPx, GST and Trx, accompanied by increases of protein carbonyl and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents. However, transcription of GPx and GST were much weaker in LvGrx 2 interfered-shrimp, and oxidative damage in both lipid and protein were more serious. These results further suggest that LvGrx 2 in shrimp participates in oxidative defence and regulation of antioxidant system.
