摘要: Mx and Viperin are important interferon-stimulated genes that mediate the antiviral immune response. In this study, we cloned the Mx and viperin genes from Dabry's sturgeon (Acipenser dabryanus). The Mx cDNA sequence contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,449 nucleotides, encoding a putative protein of 392 aa, which is significantly shorter than other animal Mx proteins. Although the similarity and identity were low between sturgeon Mx and other animal Mx proteins, sturgeon Mx contains the conserved tripartite GTP binding motif and a dynamin family signature. The sturgeon Mx gene contains eight exons split by seven introns. The sturgeon viperin cDNA sequence contained an ORF of 1,047 bp encoding a putative protein of 349 aa, which is relatively well conserved among species. Sturgeon viperin proteins show 82% similarity with those of Xiphophorus maculatus platyfish and Poecilia formosa Amazon molly. The sturgeon viperin gene has a six exon/five intron structure with the same size of second, third, fourth, and fifth exons between different species. The expression of Mx and viperin was detectable in all tissues examined, with the highest expression in skin for Mx and in peripheral blood for viperin. After mock infection using polyinosine-polycytidylic acid, Mx and viperin showed significantly upregulated expression in primary spleen leukocytes from 3 hr to 72 hr. Lipopolysaccharide could also induce their expression. These results suggested Mx and Viperin could play a vital antiviral role in the innate immune system of Dabry's sturgeon.
