Abstract
The precise control of interferon (IFN) production is indispensable for the host to eliminate invading viruses and maintain a homeostatic state. In mammals, stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is a prominent adaptor involved in antiviral immune signaling pathways. However, the regulatory mechanism of piscine STING has not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we report that autophagy related 16 like 1 (bcATG16L1) of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) is a negative regulator in black carp STING (bcSTING)-mediated signaling pathway. Initially, we substantiated that knockdown of bcATG16L1 increased the transcription of IFN and ISGs and enhanced the antiviral activity of the host cells. Subsequently, we identified that bcATG16L1 inhibited the bcSTING-mediated IFN promoter activation and proved that bcATG16L1 suppressed bcSTING-mediated antiviral ability. Furthermore, we revealed that bcATG16L1 interacted with bcSTING and the two proteins shared a similar subcellular distribution. Mechanically, we found that bcATG16L1 attenuated the oligomerization of bcSTING, which was a key step for bcSTING activation. Taken together, our results indicate that bcATG16L1 interacts with bcSTING, dampens the oligomerization of bcSTING, and negatively regulates bcSTING-mediated antiviral activity.

Abstract
Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) is a globally distributed virus that causes severe clinical symptoms and high mortality in fish belonging to the families Cyprinidae and Siluridae. To protect the host against viral infection, understanding the relatedness between viral susceptibility and antiviral mechanisms must be crucial. Thus, we evaluated the viral suppression efficacy of ribavirin by measuring the transcription levels of viral and immune genes in vitro. The results showed that following ribavirin treatment after SVCV infection (MOI 0.1), ribavirin inhibited SVCV replication in epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells and completely inhibited viral gene (G and N) expression at concentrations above 10 μg/mL at 48 h post-infection. Ribavirin does not directly damage SVCV particles but inhibits early viral replication. In the absence of SVCV infection, the immunological dynamics triggered by ribavirin resulted in upregulated pattern recognition receptors and proinflammatory cytokine-related genes (i.e., PI3K, MYD88, IRAK1, RIG-І, MAVS, Mx1, TNF-α, and NF-κB). Furthermore, EPC cells treated with ribavirin following SVCV infection showed upregulation of PI3K, MYD88, IRAK1, RIG-І, TNF-α, and NF-κB genes within 24 h post-SVCV infection, suggesting that ribavirin positively inhibits the SVCV infection in vitro.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1), the most ubiquitous member of the GST superfamily, plays vital roles in the detoxification, antioxidant defense, and modulation of inflammatory responses. However, limited studies have been conducted on the function of GSTP1 in antiviral innate immunity. In this study, we have cloned the homolog of GSTP1 in triploid hybrid crucian carp (3nGSTP1) and investigated its regulatory role in the interferon signaling pathway. The open reading frame of 3nGSTP1 is composed of 627 nucleotides, encoding 209 amino acids. In response to spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) infection, the mRNA level of 3nGSTP1 was up-regulated in the liver, kidney, and caudal fin cell lines (3 nF C) of triploid fish. The knockdown of 3nGSTP1 in 3 nF C improved host cell's antiviral capacity and attenuated SVCV replication. Additionally, overexpression of 3nGSTP1 inhibited the activation of IFN promoters induced by SVCV infection, poly (I:C) stimulation, or the RLR signaling factors. The co-immunoprecipitation assays further revealed that 3nGSTP1 interacts with 3nMAVS. In addition, 3nGSTP1 dose-dependently inhibited 3nMAVS-mediated antiviral activity and reduced 3nMAVS protein level. Mechanistically, 3nGSTP1 promoted ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of MAVS by promoting its K48-linked polyubiquitination. To conclude, our results indicate that GSTP1 acts as a novel inhibitor of MAVS, which negatively regulates the IFN signaling.

Abstract
In mammals, right open reading frame kinase 3 (RIOK3) is related with cancer development and immune regulation. To explore the role of teleost RIOK3 in the antiviral innate immunity, the homolog of RIOK3 (bcRIOK3) from black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) has been cloned and characterized in this study. Sequence analysis revealed that bcRIOK3 is conserved in vertebrates. The transcription of bcRIOK3 varied in host cells in response to the stimulation of spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV), poly (I:C), and LPS. Immunoblotting (IB) and immunofluorescence (IF) assays identified bcRIOK3 as a cytoplasmic protein with a molecular weight of ∼60 kDa. It was interesting that bcRIOK3 knockdown led to the decreased basal mRNA levels of IFNa, IFNb and Viperin; however, triggered obviously higher mRNA levels of the above genes after viral infection and enhanced host resistance to SVCV. Like its mammalian counterpart, bcRIOK3 overexpression in EPC cells showed a significant inhibitory effect on black carp MDA5 (bcMDA5)-mediated transcription of interferon promoters and antiviral activity. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescent assays identified the association between bcRIOK3 and bcMDA5. Further analysis revealed that bcRIOK3 enhanced the K48-linked ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation of bcMDA5, and it weakened the oligomerization of bcMDA5 under poly (I:C) stimulation. In summary, our data conclude that RIOK3 dampens MDA5-mediated IFN signaling by promoting its degradation in black carp, which provide new insights into the regulation of IFN signaling in teleost.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Although a virus can regulate many cellular responses to facilitate its replication by interacting with host proteins, the host can also restrict virus infection through these interactions. In the present study, we showed that the host eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha (eEF1A), an essential protein in the translation machinery, interacted with two proteins of a fish rhabdovirus, Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV), and inhibited virus infection via two different mechanisms: (i) inhibiting the formation of crucial viral protein complexes required for virus transcription and replication and (ii) promoting the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of viral protein. We also revealed the functional regions of eEF1A that are involved in the two processes. Such a host protein inhibiting a rhabdovirus infection in two ways is rarely reported. These findings provided new information for the interactions between host and fish rhabdovirus.

Abstract
Mammalian heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins M (hnRNPM) is a critical splicing regulatory protein that has been reported to negatively regulate the RLR signaling pathway by impairing the binding of RIG-I and MDA5 to viral RNA. To explore the role of hnRNPM in the antiviral innate immune response in teleost fish, the hnRNPM homologue of triploid fish (3nhnRNPM) has been cloned and identified in this paper. The CDS of 3nhnRNPM gene is composed of 2016 nucleotides and encodes 671 amino acids. 3nhnRNPM migrated around 71 kDa in immunoblotting assay and was mainly detected in the nucleus in nucleo-cytoplasmic separation assay and immunofluorescent staining test. When 3nhnRNPM and 3nIRF7 were co-expressed in EPC cells, 3nhnRNPM significantly reduced the 3nIRF7-induced interferon (IFN) promoter transcription. Correspondingly, the mRNA levels of the SVCV-M, -N, -P, and -G genes were noteworthily enhanced, but the transcription levels of epcIFNφ1, epcMx1, epcPKR, and epcISG15 were dramatically decreased. Additionally, the knockdown of 3nhnRNPM resulted in restricted SVCV replication and enhanced host cell antiviral activity. Furthermore, the association between 3nhnRNPM and 3nIRF7 has been identified by the co-immunoprecipitation assay. In addition, we found that 3nIRF7 was detained in the nucleus when co-expressed with 3nhnRNPM. To sum up, our data supported the conclusion that 3nhnRNPM suppressed 3nIRF7-mediated IFN signaling in the antiviral innate immunity.

Abstract
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) serve as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein and modulates innate immune responses to viral contagion. Most investigations involving teleost STING antiviral immunity have examined DNA viruses. Therefore, fish STING signaling events against RNA viruses require additional exploration. Here, common carp STING (named CcSTING) was cloned and characterized. The bioinformatics analyses of CcSTING showed evolutionary conservations and were most closely related to other cyprinid STINGs. Immunofluorescence staining discovered that the CcSTING was chiefly placed in the cytoplasm, specifically within the ER. CcSTING was ubiquitously generated in all analyzed organs, with especially strong expression in the gills and head kidney. Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) stimulation and poly(I:C) infection induced the generation of CcSTING in immune-associated organs, as well as in peripheral blood leukocytes. Additional investigations revealed that CcSTING overexpression strongly suppressed SVCV replication in EPC cells. Mechanistically, CcSTING enhanced IFN-1 and ISGs expression following SVCV infection. CcSTING also substantially increased both IFN and NF-κB promoter luciferase activity via a dosage-dependent fashion. Lastly, CcSTING significantly up-regulated both TBK1 and p65 phosphorylation. Collectively, these findings demonstrated the critical role and underlying mechanism of fish STING in response to RNA virus.

Abstract
In recent years, the exploration of natural compounds possessing both immunostimulatory and antiviral activities has attracted growing attention in aquaculture research. Consequently, the pursuit of identifying natural products exhibiting anti-SVCV potential as immunostimulants holds significant promise, offering a pathway to mitigate the economic ramifications inflicted by SVCV outbreaks in aquaculture settings. Among them, rhein emerges as a particularly compelling contender. Boasting a widespread distribution, well-established extraction methods, and multiple biological activities, it has exhibited the capacity to enhance the antiviral activity of host cells in vitro by blocking the viral internalization process, with a peak inhibition rate of 44.0%. Based on this intervention, rhein inhibited apoptosis and mitochondrial damage triggered by SVCV infection, ultimately producing a significant antiviral effect. Moving beyond the laboratory setting, rhein's efficacy translates effectively into in vivo scenarios. It has demonstrated substantial antiviral potency by increasing the expression of antiviral-related genes, most notably, retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I), interferon-φ (IFN-φ) and IFN-stimulated gene product 15 (ISG15). In concert with this genetic modulation, rhein efficiently reduces the viral load, precipitating a consequential enhancement in the survival rate of SVCV-infected fish, elevating it to an encouraging 16%. In conclusion, the outcomes of our investigation offer a compelling testament to rhein's potential as a valuable immunomodulator in the battle against SVCV infections in aquaculture, and the remarkable attributes exhibited by rhein underscore its viability for future commercial deployment.

Abstract
Rhomboid domain-containing protein 3 (Rhbdd3) is a member of the rhomboid family, which can modulate the innate immune response in mammals. Nonetheless, the function and regulatory mechanism of fish Rhbdd3 during viral infection have not been characterized. In this study, Rhbdd3 was firstly cloned from common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and nominated as CcRhbdd3. Phylogenetically characterization showed that CcRhbdd3 shared a relatively long evolutionary distance with its mammalian homologs. In vivo experiment demonstrated that spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) infection promoted the expression of CcRhbdd3 in the liver, spleen, kidney and muscle tissues. Furthermore, overexpression of CcRhbdd3 significantly inhibited SVCV propagation, whereas knockdown of CcRhbdd3 markedly promoted SVCV replication in susceptible cells. RNA-seq and following validation showed that CcRhbdd3 overexpression upregulated the expression of several RIG-I signaling related genes, including TRIM25, TRAF2, MDA5, LGP2, IFN1, IFN3, RIG-I, IRF3 and ISG15. Moreover, CcRhbdd3 promoted the expression of NF-κB, a central immune regulator. Subcellular localization experiments showed that CcRhbdd3 was primarily distributed in the cytoplasm and co-localized with Rab5 in the early endosomes. Truncation experiments further demonstrated that the C-terminus containing the ubiquitin-binding associated domain, was crucial for both the subcellular localization and antiviral activity of CcRhbdd3. The findings in this study provide new insight into the host antiviral mechanism against aquatic RNA virus infection, and will facilitate the development of therapeutic strategies for the infection of SVCV.

Abstract
The core binding factor subunit beta (CBFβ) is a transcription factor that forms a complex with virial proteins to promote viral infection. In this study, we identified a CBFβ homolog from zebrafish (zfCBFβ) and characterized the biological activity. The deduced zfCBFβ protein was highly similar to orthologs from other species. The zfcbfβ gene was constitutively expressed in tissues and was induced in immune tissues after infection with spring viremia carp virus (SVCV) and stimulation with poly(I:C). Interestingly, zfcbfβ is not induced by type I interferons. Overexpression of zfcbfβ induced tnfα expression but inhibited isg15 expression. Also, overexpression of zfcbfβ significantly increased SVCV titer in the EPC cells. Co-immunoprecipitation assay revealed that zfCBFβ interacts with SVCV phosphoprotein (SVCVP) and host p53, resulting in the increased stability of zfCBFβ. Our results provide evidence that CBFβ is targeted by virus to suppress host antiviral response.

Abstract
Cell lines derived from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf), which are the most widely used hosts in the baculovirus-insect cell system, are contaminated with Sf-rhabdoviruses (Sf-RVs). In this study, we identified a closely related virus (Sf-CAT-RV) in the caterpillar species used to isolate the original Sf cell line. We then evaluated the Sf-RV and Sf-CAT-RV host ranges, found Sf-CAT-RV could infect Vero cells, and obtained results suggesting both variants can infect mouse ear fibroblasts. In addition, we found both variants could establish pantropic infections in severely immunocompromised (RAG2/IL2RG-/-) mice. However, both variants were cleared by two weeks post-inoculation and neither produced any symptoms or obvious adverse outcomes in these hosts. We conclude the caterpillars used to isolate Sf21 cells were the most likely source of the Sf-RV contaminant, Sf-RVs and their Sf-CAT-RV progenitor have broader host ranges than expected from previous work, but neither variant poses a serious threat to human health.

Abstract
Autophagy related 16 like 1 (ATG16L1) is a crucial component of autophagy that regulates the formation of the autophagosome. In mammals, ATG16L1 also performs important roles in immunity, including controlling viral replication and regulating innate immune signaling; however, investigation on the role of piscine ATG16L1 in immunity is rare. In this report, the ATG16L1 homolog of black carp Mylopharyngodon piceus (bcATG16L1) was cloned and identified, and its negative regulatory role in mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS)-mediated antiviral signaling was described. The coding region of bcATG16L1 consists of 1830 nucleotides and encodes 609 amino acids, including one coiled-coil domain at the N-terminus, three low complexity region domains in the middle, and seven WD40 domains at the C-terminus. By immunofluorescence assay and immunoblotting, we found that bcATG16L1 is a cytosolic protein with a molecular weight of ∼74 kDa. In addition, over-expression of bcATG16L1 suppressed bcMAVS-mediated bcIFNa and DrIFNφ1 promoters transcriptional activity and inhibited bcMAVS-mediated antiviral activity. We further confirmed the co-localization of bcATG16L1 and bcMAVS by immunofluorescence assay and verified the protein interaction between bcATG16L1 and bcMAVS by immunoprecipitation assay. Our results report for the first time that black carp ATG16L1 suppresses MAVS-mediated antiviral signaling in teleost fish.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL) 27 is a member of the IL-12 family and is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of IL-27A and Epstein-Barr virus-induced 3 (EBI3). It plays an important role in regulating inflammation and cancer progression. IL-27A not only functions by dimerizing with EBI3 but also acts alone. Here, we report that IL-27A and EBI3 suppress spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) replication in zebrafish. Expression analysis reveals that il-27a and ebi3 were significantly upregulated in the ZF4 cells by SVCV and poly(I:C), and in the zebrafish caudal fin (ZFIN) cells overexpressed with SVCV genes. Interestingly, il-27a and ebi3 were not modulated by IFNφ1, indicating that they are not IFN stimulated genes (ISGs). Furthermore, overexpression of IL-27A and EBI3 alone inhibited SVCV replication in the EPC cells, but less potent than co-expression of IL-27A and EBI3. Intriguingly, IL-27A could not induce the expression of irf3, ifn, isg15 and mx1. Taken together, our results demonstrate that IL-27A and EBI3 activate innate antiviral response in an IFN independent manner in zebrafish.

Abstract
Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi), an important fish for the aquaculture industry of China, is often affected by viral diseases. A stable and sensitive cell line can play an important role in virus identification and isolation, functional gene identification, virus pathogenic mechanism and antiviral immunity study. In the present study, a new cell line (S. chuatsi skin cell, SCSC) derived from the skin of S. chuatsi was established. The SCSC mainly consisted of fibroblastic-like cells, which grew well in M199 medium supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum at 25°C. Chromosome analysis revealed that the SCSC (44%) has a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 48. The SCSC can be transfected and expressed exogenous gene efficiently. It also showed high sensitivity to several aquatic animal viruses from different families including Rhabdoviridae, Iridoviridae and Reoviridae. In addition, RT-PCR showed that S. chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) started genome replication as early as 3 h post infection in the cells, which also induced the up-regulation of a variety of immune-related genes including these related to interleukin family, pattern recognition receptors, JAK-STAT pathway and interferon regulatory factors. In summary, current study provided a new tool in research of fish viruses and its interaction with host.

Abstract
Common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) is one of the most widely cultivated fish in China. Spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) is a highly pathogenic virus and has often caused excessive losses in carp pond fisheries. Innate immune play important roles against virus infection. To better understand the immune response of common carp against SVCV infection, transcriptome analysis was performed using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform. It was showed that a total of 3953 differentially expressed unigenes were identified, and the RLR signaling pathway were significantly enriched after SVCV infection. Subsequently, the role of RLR signaling pathway in SVCV infection was studied. The results showed that common carp RIG-I (CcRIG-I) and TRIM25 (CcTRIM25) significantly decreased the replication of SVCV by inducing the phosphorylation of TBK1, IRF3 and p65 and the expression of ifn-1, viperin, isg15 and mx. Further studies illustrated that CcTRIM25 could positive regulate CcRIG-I mediated downstream signaling pathway. Finally, the mechanism of CcTRIM25 promoting CcRIG-I-mediated signaling was investigated. CcTRIM25 could interact with the caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD) of CcRIG-I and promoted K63-linked polyubiquitination of CcRIG-I. Altogether, the study revealed a mechanism of CcTRIM25 regulating CcRIG-I mediated immune response in SVCV infection.

Abstract
Signaling by the evolutionarily conserved mitogen-activated protein kinase or extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) plays critical roles in converting extracellular stimuli into immune responses. However, whether MAPK/ERK signaling induces virus immunity by directly phosphorylating viral effectors remains largely unknown. Barley yellow striate mosaic virus (BYSMV) is an economically important plant cytorhabdovirus that is transmitted by the small brown planthopper (SBPH, Laodelphax striatellus) in a propagative manner. Here, we found that the barley (Hordeum vulgare) MAPK MPK3 (HvMPK3) and the planthopper ERK (LsERK) proteins interact with the BYSMV nucleoprotein (N) and directly phosphorylate N protein primarily on serine 290. The overexpression of HvMPK3 inhibited BYSMV infection, whereas barley plants treated with the MAPK pathway inhibitor U0126 displayed greater susceptibility to BYSMV. Moreover, knockdown of LsERK promoted virus infection in SBPHs. A phosphomimetic mutant of the N Ser290 (S290D) completely abolished virus infection because of impaired self-interaction of BYSMV N and formation of unstable N-RNA complexes. Altogether, our results demonstrate that the conserved MAPK and ERK directly phosphorylate the viral nucleoprotein to trigger immunity against cross-kingdom infection of BYSMV in host plants and its insect vectors.

Abstract
Spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) is a fierce pathogen causing high mortality in the common carp. At present, the treatment of spring viraemia of carp (SVC) is limited. Innate immunity is the host's first line of defense against microbial pathogens. Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) activation plays an essential role in the antiviral immune response. Virus infection can activate the RIG-I signaling and induce the production of interferon (IFN) and the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). STUB1 (STIP1 homology and U-box containing protein 1) is a highly conserved cytoplasmic protein. This protein is known to exist widely in many biological systems and plays an important role in the process of immune regulation, but little is known in fish. To explore the immune function of STUB1 in fish, STUB1 gene was cloned from zebrafish and analyzed in this study. Zebrafish STUB1 showed 77% and 79% amino acid sequence homology with those from human and mouse, respectively. The amino acid sequence of zebrafish STUB1 contains three TPR domains and one U-box domain. Subcellular localization study revealed that STUB1 is located in the cytoplasm. And overexpression of zebrafish STUB1 resulted in the activation of the transcription of IFN1 and ISGs. Functional analysis showed that STUB1 was able to activate RIG-I signaling, and promote the expression of RIG-I, but STUB1 can degrade RIG-I in mammals. The proliferation of SVCV was significantly inhibited after the overexpression of STUB1 and N-terminal TPR domain of STUB1 in EPC cells. And through secondary structure analysis, overexpression of the mutant of STUB1 110 amino acid resulted in weakened antiviral ability. The expression of STUB1 was attenuated by poly(I:C) treatment and SVCV infection. In summary, this study demonstrated for the first time that STUB1 can induce the production of IFN, enhance the expression of ISGs by promoting the expression of RIG-I and inhibiting viral replication in fish. These findings may form the essential basis for the development of antiviral targets and drugs.

Abstract
Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) causes severe morbidity and mortality in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) in Europe, America and several Asian countries. We found that FKBP5 (FK506-binding protein 5) is an SVCV infection response factor; however, its role in the innate immune mechanism caused by SVCV infection remains unknown. This study cloned gcFKBP5 (grass carp FKBP5) and made its mimic protein structure for function discussion. We found that gcFKBP5 expression in the primary innate immune organs of grass carp, including intestine, liver and spleen, was highly upregulated by SVCV in 24 h, with a similar result in fish cells by poly(I:C) treatment. gcFKBP overexpression aggravates viral damage to cells and increases viral replication. Furthermore, SVCV engages gcFKBP5 interacting with TRAF2 (tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2) to promote host cell apoptosis for supporting viral replication. The enhanced viral replication seems not to be due to the repression of IFN and other antiviral factors as expected. For the first time, these data show the pivotal role of gcFKBP5 in the innate immune response of grass carp to SVCV infection.

Abstract
A divergent rhabdovirus was discovered in the bloodstream of a 15-year-old girl with Nodding syndrome from Mundri West County in South Sudan. Nodding syndrome is a progressive degenerative neuropathy of unknown cause affecting thousands of individuals in Sub-Saharan Africa. The index case was previously healthy until she developed head-nodding seizures four months prior to presentation. Virus discovery by VIDISCA-NGS on the patient’s plasma detected multiple sequence reads belonging to a divergent rhabdovirus. The viral load was 3.85 × 103 copies/mL in the patient’s plasma and undetectable in her cerebrospinal fluid. Further genome walking allowed for the characterization of full coding sequences of all the viral proteins (N, P, M, U1, U2, G, U3, and L). We tentatively named the virus “Mundri virus” (MUNV) and classified it as a novel virus species based on the high divergence from other known viruses (all proteins had less than 43% amino acid identity). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that MUNV forms a monophyletic clade with several human-infecting tibroviruses prevalent in Central Africa. A bioinformatic machine-learning algorithm predicted MUNV to be an arbovirus (bagged prediction strength (BPS) of 0.9) transmitted by midges (BPS 0.4) with an artiodactyl host reservoir (BPS 0.9). An association between MUNV infection and Nodding syndrome was evaluated in a case–control study of 72 patients with Nodding syndrome (including the index case) matched to 65 healthy households and 48 community controls. No subject, besides the index case, was positive for MUNV RNA in their plasma. A serological assay detecting MUNV anti-nucleocapsid found, respectively, in 28%, 22%, and 16% of cases, household controls and community controls to be seropositive with no significant differences between cases and either control group. This suggests that MUNV commonly infects children in South Sudan yet may not be causally associated with Nodding syndrome.

Abstract
Dihydroxyacetone kinase (DAK) functions as a negative regulator of melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5)-mediated interferon (IFN) production in human. To explore its role in teleost fish, DAK homologue of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) has been cloned and characterized in this paper. The transcription of black carp DAK (bcDAK) variated in host cells in response to LPS, poly (I:C) and virus stimulation, and bcDAK was majorly distributed in the cytoplasm. Overexpressed bcDAK in EPC cells showed little IFN promoter-inducing ability in the reporter assay and no antiviral activity in plaque assay. When co-expressed with black carp MDA5 (bcMDA5) in EPC cells, bcDAK obviously inhibited bcMDA5-mediated IFN promoter transcription in reporter assay and the antiviral activity in plaque assay. The knockdown of bcDAK enhanced the antiviral activity of the host cells. The association between bcDAK and bcMDA5 has been identified through immunofluorescent staining and co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assay. Thus, the data generated in this study support the conclusion that black carp DAK interacts with MDA5 and negatively regulates MDA5-mediated antiviral signaling.

Abstract
SVCV infection is known to activate the host's innate immune responses, including the production of interferon (IFN) and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Viperin_sv1 is a novel splice variant of viperin, which is induced during SVCV infection and proves to positively regulate the IFN activation and production. However, the underlying mechanism remains unsolved. In this study, the P protein of SVCV was identified to be the key to induce the mRNA modification and production of viperin_sv1 during the virus infection. Besides, Viperin_sv1 was able to trigger the RLR signaling cascades to activate type-1 interferon response. Additional analysis revealed that viperin_sv1 promoted the stability and function of RIG-I, which result in the production of IFN and ISGs. Moreover, the central SAM domain of viperin_sv1 was demonstrated to be essential for regulating RIG-I protein expression and inducing IFN production. Furthermore, this study also showed that SVCV replication could be inhibited by the viperin_sv1 SAM domain. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that viperin_sv1 reduces the replication of SVCV by promoting the RIG-I protein expression. Our findings identified the antiviral function played by the SAM domain of viperin_sv1 and suggested an antiviral mechanism that is conserved among different species.

Abstract
In aquaculture, disease management and pathogen control are key for a successful fish farming industry. In past years, European catfish farming has been flourishing. However, devastating fish pathogens including limiting fish viruses are considered a big threat to further expanding of the industry. Even though mainly the ranavirus (Iridoviridea) and circovirus (Circoviridea) infections are considered well- described in European catfish, more other agents including herpes-, rhabdo or papillomaviruses are also observed in the tissues of catfish with or without any symptoms. The etiological role of these viruses has been unclear until now. Hence, there is a requisite for more detailed information about the latter and the development of preventive and therapeutic approaches to complete them. In this review, we summarize recent knowledge about viruses that affect the European catfish and describe their origin, distribution, molecular characterisation, and phylogenetic classification. We also highlight the knowledge gaps, which need more in-depth investigations in the future.

Abstract
Both the activation and attenuation of MAVS/IFN signaling are critical for host defensing against viral infection and thus lead to an elaborate regulation of MAVS-mediated signaling. However, the regulatory mechanisms concerning MAVS/IFN signaling in teleost fish are not well understood. RIPK3 has been identified as a key regulator of necroptosis, apoptosis, and inflammatory signaling in human and mammals. Here we report the identification of the RIPK3 homologue from black carp Mylopharyngodon piceus (bcRIPK3) and describe its role in regulating MAVS/IFN signaling. qPCR results demonstrated that bcRIPK3 was transcriptionally activated in response to poly (I:C) or LPS stimulation. Immunoblot assay and immunofluorescent staining assay showed that bcRIPK3 was a cytosolic protein with molecular weights of 47 kDa. Like its mammalian counterparts, bcRIPK3 exhibited a conserved function in inducing cell death. The reporter assay and plaque assay showed that overexpression of bcRIPK3 restricted bcMAVS-activated transcription of the interferon promoters of black carp and zebrafish, and suppressed bcMAVS-mediated antiviral activity. Notably, EPC cells co-expressing bcRIPK3, bcRIPK1 and bcMAVS presented much attenuated antiviral activity than the cells co-expressing bcRIPK3 and bcMAVS; and the subsequent co-IP assay identified the interaction between bcRIPK3 and bcRIPK1. Our findings collectively elucidate for the first time in teleost that black carp RIPK3 interacts with RIPK1 to inhibit MAVS-mediated antiviral signaling.

Abstract
As one of the piscine rhabdoviruses, Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) has caused considerable losses to mandarin fish aquaculture industry. RNA-seq, as efficient transcriptome research method, has been widely used to study the immune response of fish to pathogens. This study reported the effect of SCRV infection at 0, 24 and 60 hr on S. chuatsi at the transcriptome level. A total of 61,527 unigenes with high quality were obtained, and 3,095, 1,854 and 227 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were labelled between the Sc24 and Sc0 groups, the Sc60 and Sc0 groups and the Sc60 and Sc24 groups, respectively. Genes involved in innate and adaptive immunity were highlighted. In Gene Ontology analysis, the DEGs that participated in immune response, innate immune response and the regulation of apoptotic process were identified as enriched classes. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway results indicated that most DEGs caused by SCRV infection were identified in the immune system (retinoic acid-inducible gene-I-like receptor/Toll-like receptor/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor/C-type lectin receptor signalling pathway), cellular processes, cell growth and death (p53 signalling pathway, cellular senescence, apoptosis and phagosome), and metabolism. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to further verify the expression levels of 15 immune-related DEGs. The transcriptome database obtained in this study provided further in-depth insight into the immune response of S. chuatsi against SCRV.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) associated death domain protein (TRADD) is a pivotal adaptor in TNF signaling pathway and up-regulates MAVS/IFN signaling pathway in human and mammal. However, the role of TRADD in teleost fish remains obscure. To reveal the function of teleost TRADD in the innate immune response, the TRADD homologue (bcTRADD) of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) has been cloned and the function of bcTRADD is investigated in this study, which shares similar functional domain to its mammalian counterpart. bcTRADD mRNA expression level increased in response to different stimuli, including LPS, poly (I:C) and virus infection in host cells. bcTRADD activated the transcriptional activity of NF-κB promoter in the reporter assay; however, showed hardly any effect on the transcriptional activity of IFN promoter. It was interesting that black carp mitochondria antiviral signaling protein (bcMAVS)-activated IFN promoter transcription were dramatically depressed by bcTRADD and the C-terminal death domain of bcTRADD was indispensable for its regulation of bcMAVS. Accordingly, the plaque assay result showed that EPC cells co-expressing bcMAVS and bcTRADD presented much attenuated antiviral activity than EPC cells expressing bcMAVS alone. Knockdown of bcTRADD slightly promoted the antiviral ability of the host cells against SVCV. The current data support the conclusion that bcTRADD suppresses MAVS-mediated antiviral signaling, which is different to its mammalian counterpart.

Abstract
G protein-coupled bile acids receptor 1 (GPBAR1 or TGR5) has been widely studied as a metabolic regulator involved in bile acids synthesis, glucose metabolism and energy homeostasis. Several recent studies have shown that mammalian GPBAR1 is also involved in antiviral innate immune responses. However, the functions of piscine GPBAR1 in antibacterial or antiviral immune responses and lipid metabolism remain unclear. In the present study, we report the functional characterization of zebrafish gpbar1. Similar to mammalian GPBAR1, zebrafish gpbar1 contains similar domain composition, shows a dose-dependent activation by bile acids including INT777, LCA, DCA, CDCA and CA, and can be induced by viral infection. Compared with corresponding control groups, a significant antiviral activity against spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) infection was observed in ZF4 cells overexpressing zebrafish gpbar1 with INT777 treatment, but not in ZF4 cells overexpressing zebrafish gpbar1 without INT777 treatment. The activation of zebrafish gpbar1 had no significant antibacterial effect against Edwardsiella piscicida infection in ZF4 cells in vitro. Transcriptome analysis revealed that zebrafish gpbar1 activation played a crucial role in activating RLR signaling pathway and inducing the production of ISGs, but not for bile acid biosynthesis and transportation. The co-occurrence analysis for antiviral-related and bile acids metabolism-related DEGs suggested a strong interaction among 2 bile acid receptors (gpbar1 and nr1h4), slco2b1 and the antiviral DEGs. The lipidomic analysis showed that zebrafish gpbar1 activation in ZF4 cells resulted a change of glycerophospholipids, but none of bile acids nor their derivatives, which were different from mammalian GPBAR1. All together, these results firstly demonstrate the conserved antiviral role of gpbar1 and its function in regulating glycerophospholipids metabolism in teleost.

Abstract
In vertebrates, a total of eleven interferon (IFN) regulatory factors (IRFs), IRF1 to IRF11 are reported, with the conserved presence of IRF1 to IRF9 in all classes of vertebrates. However, IRF10 has been reported only in fish and birds, and IRF11 seems to be a fish specific IRF member. In this study, IRF11 in mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi was found upregulated following virus infection, and IRF11 was localized constitutively in nucleus as revealed through immunofluorescence test. The overexpression and/or luciferase reporter assays showed that IRF11 can induce transcriptionally the ISRE activity, and the expression of type I IFNs, IFNc and IFNh, as well as the IFN-stimulated gene, Mx, thus inhibiting the Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) replication as indicated in the reduced expression of virus protein genes. It is thus suggested that IRF11 in mandarin fish and probably in other teleost fish can exert its antiviral effect through the upregulation of type I IFNs and ISGs.

Abstract
TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) plays a vital role in activating interferon (IFN) production and positively regulating antiviral response in mammals. Research on more species of fish is necessary to clarify whether the function of fish TBK1 is conserved compared to that in mammals. Here, a cyprinid fish (Ancherythroculter nigrocauda) TBK1 (AnTBK1) was functionally identified and characterized. The full-length open reading frame (ORF) of AnTBK1 consists of 2184 nucleotides encoding 727 amino acids and contains a conserved Serine/Threonine protein kinase catalytic domain (S_TKc) in the N-terminal, similar to TBK1 in other species. The transcripts of AnTBK1 were found in all the tissues evaluated and the cellular distribution indicated that AnTBK1 was localized in the cytoplasm. In terms of functional identification, AnTBK1 induced a variety of IFN promoter activities as well as the expression of downstream IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). In addition, AnTBK1 interacted with and significantly phosphorylated IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), exhibiting the canonical kinase activity of TBK1. Finally, AnTBK1 presented strong antiviral activity against spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) infection. Taken together, our research on the features and functions of AnTBK1 demonstrated that AnTBK1 plays a central role in IFN induction against SVCV infection.

Abstract
In mammals, tripartite motif (TRIM)-containing proteins are involved in interferon (IFN)-mediated antiviral response as pivotal players endowed with antiviral effects and modulatory capacity. Teleost fish have a unique subfamily of TRIM, called finTRIM (fish novel TRIM, FTR) generated by genus- or species-specific duplication of TRIM genes. Herein, four TRIM genes are identified from Epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells, and phylogenetically close to the members of finTRIM, thus named FTREPC1, FTREPC2, FTREPC3 and FTREPC4. Despite high similarity in nucleotide sequence, FTREPC1/2 genes encode two proteins with a typically consecutive tripartite motif followed by a C-terminal B30.2 domain, while FTREPC3/4-encoding proteins retain only a RING domain due to early termination of translation. They are induced by poly(I:C), GCRV and SVCV as IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), and this induction is severely impaired by blockade of STAT1 pathway and is dependent on a typical ISRE motif within the 5' untranslated regions (5'UTRs) of FTREPC1/2/3/4 genes. Whereas overexpression of FTREPC1/2/3/4 alone does not activate fish IFN promoters, overexpression of FTREPC1 or FTREPC2, rather than FTREPC3 and FTREPC4, significantly impairs intracellular poly(I:C)-triggered activation of fish IFN promoters. Consistently, FTREPC1/2 promote virus replication through negatively regulating IFN response. Our results provide evidence for the involvement of EPC finTRIM proteins in IFN antiviral response and insights into genus- or species-specific regulation of fish innate immune pathways.

Abstract
Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) is among the most important cultured fish species in the Mediterranean area and pathogen diseases one of the bottlenecks to the aquaculture sector. For this reason, generation of laboratory tools for diagnostic and research applications would be beneficial to improve the seabream aquaculture. In this sense, we aimed to generate a seabream cell line for biological studies. Thus, we have obtained a brain-derived cell line (SaB-1) that is continuously growing for more than 4 years. Cellular characterization of the SaB-1 cells shows that they express both neural and glial cell markers, suggesting they are neural-stem cells, have a neuron-like morphology and show a rapid growth in culture. We evaluated their susceptibility to the main fish viruses: nervous necrosis virus (NNV), spring viremia carp virus (SVCV), infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) and viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV). SaB-1 cells are susceptible to all the tested viruses. In addition, the transcription of genes related to the type I interferon (IFN) is greatly up-regulated by the NNV infection whilst the viral infection with SVCV, IPNV or VHSV failed to do so. These data demonstrate that the seabream SaB-1 cell line is continuous, stable and could be useful, at least, for fish virology and immunity applications.

Abstract
Casein kinase 1 (CK1) family members are conserved Ser/Thr protein kinases that regulate important developmental processes in all eukaryotic organisms. However, the functions of CK1 in plant immunity remain largely unknown. Barley yellow striate mosaic virus (BYSMV), a plant cytorhabdovirus, infects cereal crops and is obligately transmitted by the small brown planthopper (SBPH; Laodelphax striatellus). The BYSMV phosphoprotein (P) exists as two forms with different mobilities corresponding to 42 kD (P42) and 44 kD (P44) in SDS-PAGE gels. Mass spectrometric analyses revealed a highly phosphorylated serine-rich (SR) motif at the C-terminal intrinsically disordered region of the P protein. The Ala-substitution mutant (PS5A) in the SR motif stimulated virus replication, whereas the phosphorylation-mimic mutant (PS5D) facilitated virus transcription. Furthermore, PS5A and PS5D associated preferentially with nucleocapsid protein-RNA templates and the large polymerase protein to provide optimal replication and transcription complexes, respectively. Biochemistry assays demonstrated that plant and insect CK1 protein kinases could phosphorylate the SR motif and induce conformational changes from P42 to P44. Moreover, overexpression of CK1 or a dominant-negative mutant impaired the balance between P42 and P44, thereby compromising virus infections. Our results demonstrate that BYSMV recruits the conserved CK1 kinases to achieve its cross-kingdom infection in host plants and insect vectors.

Abstract
In mammals, several non-RLR DExD/H-box RNA helicases are involve in sensing of viral nucleic acids and activation of antiviral immune response, however their role in the immune defense of fish is much less known. In this study, the expression profile of non-RLR DExD/H-box RNA helicase genes: ddx1, ddx3, dhx9, ddx21 and dhx36, was studied in zebrafish (Danio rerio) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) during infection with two RNA viruses: spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) and Chum salmon reovirus (CSV). Bioinformatic analysis of the amino acid sequences of the core helicase of DDX1, DDX3, DHX9, DDX21 and DHX36 in zebrafish and common carp revealed presence of all conserved motifs found amongst all other species, with the exception of common carp DHX9 which do not possess motif V. The transcripts of studied DExD/H-box RNA helicases were found in zebrafish ZF4 cell line as well as in all studied organs from zebrafish and common carp. The expression study demonstrated the up-regulation of the expression of selected non-RLR DExD/H-box RNA helicases during viral infections in ZF4 cell line (in vitro study) and in zebrafish and common carp organs (in vivo study). DDX1 was the only DExD/H-box RNA helicase which expression was repetitively up-regulated during in vivo infections with SVCV and CSV in zebrafish and SVCV in common carp. In ZF4 cells and kidney of common carp, viral infection-induced up-regulation of DExD/H-box RNA helicases preceded the up-regulation of type I IFN gene. Our results suggest that studied non-RLR DExD/H-box RNA helicases might be involved in antiviral immune response in fish.

Abstract
Tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins have attracted particular research interest because of their multiple functions in the antiviral innate immune response. TRIM proteins perform different functions during virus infection, some play a role in inhibiting while others play a role in promoting. In this study, we described a species-specific TRIM gene named ftr67. Analysis of tissue distribution showed that ftr67 was mainly expressed in the gill and liver in five examined tissues of zebrafish. The phylogenic analysis showed that ftr67 was closest to the grass carp TRIM67. Overexpression of ftr67 resulted in a significantly decreased SVCV entry and impaired SVCV replication in FHM cells. Furthermore, overexpression of ftr67 could significantly induce the upregulation of molecular sensor RIG-I, IRF3/7, IFN and ISGs. In addition, RING domain of ftr67 was a required part essential for the antiviral effect. In summary, our results demonstrated that the important role of ftr67 in regulating SVCV infection, which offers a potential target for development of anti-SVCV therapies.

Abstract
TRAFD1 negatively regulates TLR and RLR signaling in human and mammal; however, its role in teleost fish remains unknown. In this paper, the TRAFD1 homologue has been cloned and characterized from black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus). Black carp TRAFD1 (bcTRAFD1) consists of 567 amino acids and shows low similarity to that of mammalian TRAFD1, which has been identified as a cytosolic protein through immunofluorescence staining. When co-expressed with bcTRAFD1, the IFN promoter-inducing ability of black carp MAVS (bcMAVS) was obviously dampened in the luciferase reporter assay. Accordingly, bcMAVS-mediated antiviral activity against grass carp reovirus (GCRV) and spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) was potently repressed by bcTRAFD1 in plaque assay. And the co-immunoprecipitation assay between bcTRAFD1 and bcMAVS has identified the association between these two molecules. Thus, our data supports the conclusion that bcTRAFD1 interacts with bcMAVS and negatively regulates bcMAVS-mediated antiviral signaling during the innate immune activation, which sheds a light on the regulation of MAVS in teleost.

Abstract
Autophagy is an important mechanism for organisms to eliminate viruses and other intracellular pathogens. Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) is an agent that has caused devastating losses in Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi) industry. But the role of autophagy in Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) infection is not clearly understood. In this study, we identified that SCRV infection triggered autophagy in CPB cells, which was demonstrated by the appearance of the membrane vesicles, GFP-LC3 punctuate pattern, conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II, and the co-localization of autophagosomes and lysosomes. The changes of autophagy flux in SCRV infection indicated that autophagy was inhibited at the early stage of SCRV infection, but was promoted at the late stage. UV-inactivated SCRV can induce autophagy, suggesting that SCRV replication is not essential for the induction of autophagy. Furthermore, we found inducing autophagy with Rapa inhibited SCRV proliferation, but inhibiting autophagy with 3-MA or CQ increased SCRV production in CPB cells. Then we assessed the effects of PI3K/Akt-mTOR signaling pathway on SCRV induced autophagy. We found that SCRV infection activated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway at 4 hpi, but inhibited it at 8 hpi. SCRV-N mRNA and protein level were decreased by inhibiting PI3K with LY294002, but increased by activating PI3K with 740Y-P. Those results indicated that SCRV infection induced autophagy via the PI3K/Akt-mTOR signal pathway, which will provide new insights into SCRV pathogenesis and antiviral treatment strategies.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca) is a messenger that regulates a multitude of physiological processes, but its functions in antiviral progress remain undefined. In this study, we found that Ca2+ enhances fish survival to defend against spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) infection by reversing the instability of p53 mediated by the viral protein. First, Ca2+ significantly protected cells and fish against SVCV infection by inducing early apoptosis. Additionally, p53 expression, which was inhibited by SVCV N protein, was upregulated by Ca2+ treatment. Then, the mechanism underlying the reduction of K63-linked p53 ubiquitination by SVCV N protein via the K358 site was completely prevented by Ca2+. These findings reveal the role of Ca2+ in lower vertebrates in the antiviral response, which is connected to and corresponds with viral immune evasion, providing a solution to fish diseases caused by pathogens.

Abstract
Spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) can cause a high mortality in common carp (Cyprinus carpio), and its main pathological processes include the inflammatory response. However, the detailed mechanism is still unclear. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to play critical roles in the immune response, including inflammation, in different models. Our previous studies have demonstrated that SVCV infection results in the accumulation of ROS, including H2O2, in epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells. In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between H2O2 accumulation and inflammation during SVCV infection. After EPC cells were infected with SVCV, the expression levels of the inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, and interleukin (IL)-8 were up-regulated, while the expression of the anti-inflammatory factor interleukin (IL)-10 was down-regulated, compared with that in mock-infected EPC cells. The antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) could dampen the increased TNF-ɑ and COX-2 expression induced by SVCV and H2O2, suggesting a relationship between ROS accumulation and inflammation during SVCV infection. Dual luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that SVCV could not activate the NF-κB pathway. In addition, inhibition of NF-κB by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) treatment had no effect on the expression of inflammatory factors. Furthermore, inhibition of the ERK, JNK, and p38MAPK signaling pathways by U0126, SP600125, and SB203580, respectively, reduced the expression of TNF-ɑ, COX-2, and IL-8, indicating that these three signaling pathways were all involved in the inflammatory response after SVCV infection. In addition, the PI3K signaling pathway was involved in the expression of the chemokine IL-8 in the SVCV-induced inflammatory response. We also showed that inhibition of the MAPK or PI3K signaling pathway facilitated the expression of SVCV-G as well as increased the SVCV viral titer. Altogether these results reveal the mechanism of the SVCV-mediated inflammatory response. Thus, targeting these signaling pathways may provide novel treatment strategies for SVCV-mediated diseases.

Abstract
NAK-associated protein 1 (NAP1) is involved in NF-κB activation and interferon (IFN) induction in human and mammal; however, the role of teleost NAP1 in innate immunity remains unknown. In this paper, NAP1 homologue of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) has been cloned and characterized. Black carp NAP1 (bcNAP1) migrated around 47 kDa in immunoblot assay and was identified as a cytosolic protein by immunofluorescent staining. bcNAP1 showed little IFN promoter-inducing ability in the reporter assay and bcNAP1 presented no antiviral activity against either grass carp reovirus (GCRV) or spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) in the plaque assay. However, when co-expressed with black carp MDA5 (bcMDA5), bcNAP1 enhanced bcMDA5-mediated IFN promoter induction in the reporter assay. Accordingly, the plaque assay data demonstrated that the antiviral activity of bcMDA5 against both GCRV and SVCV was upregulated by bcNAP1. Additionally, the association between bcNAP1 and bcMDA5 has been identified through immunofluorescent staining and co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assay. Thus, the data generated in this study support the conclusion that bcNAP1 interacts with bcMDA5 and up-regulates bcMDA5-mediated antiviral signaling during host innate immune activation.

Abstract
Plant rhabdoviruses are recognized by their large bacilliform particles and for being able to replicate in both their plant hosts and arthropod vectors. This review highlights selected, better studied examples of plant rhabdoviruses, their genetic diversity, epidemiology and interactions with plant hosts and arthropod vectors: Alfalfa dwarf virus is classified as a cytorhabdovirus, but its multifunctional phosphoprotein is localized to the plant cell nucleus. Lettuce necrotic yellows virus subtypes may differentially interact with their aphid vectors leading to changes in virus population diversity. Interactions of rhabdoviruses that infect rice, maize and other grains are tightly associated with their specific leafhopper and planthopper vectors. Future outbreaks of vector-borne nucleorhabdoviruses may be predicted based on a world distribution map of the insect vectors. The epidemiology of coffee ringspot virus and its Brevipalpus mite vector is illustrated highlighting the symptomatology and biology of a dichorhavirus and potential impacts of climate change on its epidemiology.

Abstract
Wheat yellow striate virus (WYSV), which is found in wheat fields of Northwest China and transmitted by leafhopper vector Psammotettix alienus, is a tentative new species in the genus Nucleorhabdovirus. Although the insect vector and host range of WYSV have been characterized, many aspects of the acquisition and transmission processes by its insect vector have not been elucidated. Here, the transmission parameters of WYSV by P. alienus were determined using wheat cv. Yangmai 12 as the indicator plant under a controlled temperature (23 ± 1°C) and photoperiod (16 h of light). The results showed that the minimum periods for acquisition were 5 min and 10 min for inoculation access. The latent period for successful transmission was most commonly 16 to 20 days (minimum, 10 days; maximum, 22 days). The quantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR results indicated that the WYSV titer increased with time after acquisition, suggesting that WYSV can replicate in P. alienus. Notably, female P. alienus transovarially transmitted the virus to next generations at relatively high efficiency. Electron microscopy of the WYSV-infected leafhopper revealed bacilliform particles aggregated in the cytoplasm of the salivary gland and midgut tissues. Our present studies suggested that acquisition and transmission of WYSV by P. alienus is consistent with a propagative, circulative, and persistent mode of transmission. Details regarding transmission competencies and distribution of WYSV in P. alienus will provide a basis for designing preventive measures.

Abstract
The S100 family proteins are a group of small acidic polypeptides and have diverse functions in regulating many aspects of physiological processes. They are structurally conserved and possess two EF-hands which are central for calcium-mediated functions. In this study, 14 S100 cDNA sequences were determined in zebrafish and their genomic organizations confirmed. Re-analyzing the gene synteny of the S100 loci identified two major S100 loci in Chr16 and Chr19 which share remarkable conservation with the S100 locus in human Chr1, suggesting they may have evolved from a single locus during the teleost specific whole genome duplication event. It appears that the homologues of human S100G and S100P have been lost in zebrafish. Expression analysis reveals that S100W, ICN1 and ICN2 are markedly expressed in embryos. Further, the transcripts of S100 genes are relatively abundant in mucosal tissues such as gills and gut. Intraperitoneal injection of poly(I:C) resulted in up-regulation of most S100 genes in the gut and spleen, with highest induction of S100V2 and S100Z detected. In fish challenged with spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV), expression of most S100 family genes was increased in the spleen between day 1 and 7 post infection, with consistent induction seen for the S100A1, S100A10b, S100B, S100ICN1, S100T, S100U, S100V1 and S100Z. Interestingly, intraperitoneal injection of Edwardsiella tarda down-regulated S100 expression in the gut but resulted in induction in the spleen. The results demonstrate that the S100 family genes are differentially modulated by bacterial and viral pathogens in zebrafish.

Abstract
Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is a universally farmed fish species in China and has a large farming scale and economic value. With the high-density cultural mode in mandarin fish, viral diseases, such as infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) and Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV), have increased loss, which has seriously restricted the development of aquaculture. Y-Box binding protein 1 (YB-1) is a member of cold shock protein family that regulates multiple cellular processes. The roles of mammalian YB-1 protein in environmental stress and innate immunity have been studied well, but its roles in teleost fishes remain unknown. In the present study, the characteristic of S. chuatsi YB-1 (scYB-1) and its roles in cold stress and virus infection were investigated. The scYB-1 obtained an 1541 bp cDNA that contains a 903 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 300 amino acids. Tissue distribution results showed that the scYB-1 is a ubiquitously expressed gene found among tissues from mandarin fish. Overexpression of scYB-1 can increase the expression levels of cold shock-responsive genes, such as scHsc70a, scHsc70b, and scp53. Furthermore, the role of scYB-1 in innate immunity was also investigated in mandarin fish fry (MFF-1) cells. The expression level of scYB-1 was significant change in response to poly (I:C), poly (dG:dC), PMA, ISKNV, or SCRV stimulation. The overexpression of scYB-1 can significantly increase the expression levels of NF-κB-responsive genes, including scIL-8, scTNF-α, and scIFN-h. The NF-κB-luciferase report assay results showed that the relative expression of luciferin was significantly increased in the cells overexpressed with scYB-1 compared with those in cells overexpressed with control plasmid. These results indicate that scYB-1 can induce the NF-κB signaling pathway in MFF-1 cells. Overexpressed scYB-1 can downregulate the expression of ISKNV viral major capsid protein (mcp) gene but upregulates the expression of SCRV mcp gene. Moreover, knockdown of scYB-1 using siRNA can upregulate the expression of ISKNV mcp gene but downregulates the expression of SCRV mcp gene. These results indicate that scYB-1 suppresses ISKNV infection while enhancing SCRV infection. The above observations suggest that scYB-1 is involved in cold stress and virus infection. Our study will provide an insight into the roles of teleost fish YB-1 protein in stress response and innate immunity.

Abstract
Protein arginine methylation is a prevalent posttranslational modification and protein arginine methyltransferases 6 (PRMT6) has been identified as a suppressor of TBK1/IRF3 in human and mammals. To explore the role of PRMT6 in teleost fish, PRMT6 homologue of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) has been cloned and characterized in this study. Black carp PRMT6 (bcPRMT6) transcription in host cells varies in response to different stimuli and bcPRMT6 migrates around 43 kDa in the immunoblot assay. Like its mammalian counterpart, bcPRMT6 has been identified to distribute majorly in the nucleus through the immunofluorescent staining assay. bcPRMT6 shows little interferon (IFN) promoter-inducing activity in the reporter assay and bcPRMT6 shows no antiviral activity against either grass carp reovirus (GCRV) or spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) in plaque assay. When co-expressed with bcPRMT6, the IFN promoter-inducing abilities of black carp TBK1 (bcTBK1) and IRF3/7 (bcIRF3/7) are fiercely attenuated. Accordingly, bcTBK1-mediated antiviral activity in EPC cells is obviously dampened by bcPRMT6. The interaction between bcPRMT6 and bcIRF3/7 has been identified by co-immunoprecipitation assay; however, no direct association between bcPRMT6 and bcTBK1 has been detected. Taken together, our data elucidates for the first time in teleost fish that PRMT6 suppresses TBK1-IRF3/7 signaling during host antiviral innate immune activation.

Abstract
Cytidine/uridine monophosphate kinase 2 (CMPK2) is known as a nucleoside monophosphate kinase in mitochondria to maintains intracellular UTP/CTP, and could be induced by immunostimulants LPS and Poly (I:C) in mammals, suggesting its potential antiviral and antibacterial role. In this study, CMPK2 was cloned and characterized in Fathead minnow (FHM) cells. In vivo analysis of tissue distribution revealed that CMPK2 transcript was detected in all the tissues of zebrafish (Danio rerio) examined in this study, particularly abundant in liver, spleen and kidney. In addition, indirect immunofluorescence showed that CMPK2 was localized in the cytoplasm of FHM cells. Expression of CMPK2 mRNA was significantly up-regulated following challenge with Spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV), poly(I:C), or zebrafish IFN1 and IFN3 both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, overexpression and RNA interference of CMPK2 in SVCV-infected FHM cells showed significantly antiviral effect. In summary, this study for the first time shows the presence and distribution of CMPK2 in different tissues of zebrafish, but also demonstrates its antiviral potential against SVCV infection in vivo. These new findings could contribute to explain the molecular mechanism of the CMPK2 mediated antiviral function.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 3 is one of the four distinct membrane-spanning tyrosine kinases required for proper skeletal development. In fish, the role of FGFR3 is still unclear. In this article, we reveal that zebrafish FGFR3 is a negative regulator of interferon (IFN) production in the innate immune response by suppressing the activity of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) in the process of virus infection. qPCR experiments demonstrate that the transcriptional level of cellular FGFR3 was upregulated by infection with spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV), indicating that FGFR3 might be involved in the process of host cell response to viral infection. Then, overexpression of FGFR3 significantly impeded the IFN promoter activity induced by a stimulator. In addition, the capabilities of a retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptor (RLR) system to activate IFN promoter were decreased during the overexpression of FGFR3. Subsequently, FGFR3 decreased the phosphorylation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and mediator of IRF3 activation (MITA) by TBK1. These findings suggest that zebrafish FGFR3 is a negative regulator of IFN by attenuating the kinase activity of TBK1, leading to the suppression of IFN expression.

Abstract
Plant viruses have been used as rapid and cost-effective expression vectors for heterologous protein expression in genomic studies. However, delivering large or multiple foreign proteins in monocots and insect pests is challenging. Here, we recovered a recombinant plant cytorhabdovirus, Barley yellow striate mosaic virus (BYSMV), for use as a versatile expression platform in cereals and the small brown planthopper (SBPH, Laodelphax striatellus) insect vector. We engineered BYSMV vectors to provide versatile expression platforms for simultaneous expression of three foreign proteins in barley plants and SBPHs. Moreover, BYSMV vectors could express the c. 600-amino-acid β-glucuronidase (GUS) protein and a red fluorescent protein stably in systemically infected leaves and roots of cereals, including wheat, barley, foxtail millet, and maize plants. Moreover, we have demonstrated that BYSMV vectors can be used in barley to analyze biological functions of gibberellic acid (GA) biosynthesis genes. In a major technical advance, BYSMV vectors were developed for simultaneous delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 nuclease and single guide RNAs for genomic editing in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. Taken together, our results provide considerable potential for rapid screening of functional proteins in cereals and planthoppers, and an efficient approach for developing other insect-transmitted negative-strand RNA viruses.

Abstract
Positive-stranded RNA virus movement proteins (MPs) generally lack sequence-specific nucleic acid-binding activities and display cross-family movement complementarity with related and unrelated viruses. Negative-stranded RNA plant rhabdoviruses encode MPs with limited structural and functional relatedness with other plant virus counterparts, but the precise mechanisms of intercellular transport are obscure. In this study, we first analyzed the abilities of MPs encoded by five distinct rhabdoviruses to support cell-to-cell movement of two positive-stranded RNA viruses by using trans-complementation assays. Each of the five rhabdovirus MPs complemented the movement of MP-defective mutants of tomato mosaic virus and potato X virus. In contrast, movement of recombinant MP deletion mutants of sonchus yellow net nucleorhabdovirus (SYNV) and tomato yellow mottle-associated cytorhabdovirus (TYMaV) was rescued only by their corresponding MPs, i.e., SYNV sc4 and TYMaV P3. Subcellular fractionation analyses revealed that SYNV sc4 and TYMaV P3 were peripherally associated with cell membranes. A split-ubiquitin membrane yeast two-hybrid assay demonstrated specific interactions of the membrane-associated rhabdovirus MPs only with their cognate nucleoproteins (N) and phosphoproteins (P). More importantly, SYNV sc4-N and sc4-P interactions directed a proportion of the N-P complexes from nuclear sites of replication to punctate loci at the cell periphery that partially colocalized with the plasmodesmata. Our data show that cell-to-cell movement of plant rhabdoviruses is highly specific and suggest that cognate MP-nucleocapsid core protein interactions are required for intra- and intercellular trafficking.IMPORTANCE Local transport of plant rhabdoviruses likely involves the passage of viral nucleocapsids through MP-gated plasmodesmata, but the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. We have conducted complementation assays with MPs encoded by five distinct rhabdoviruses to assess their movement specificity. Each of the rhabdovirus MPs complemented the movement of MP-defective mutants of two positive-stranded RNA viruses that have different movement strategies. In marked contrast, cell-to-cell movement of two recombinant plant rhabdoviruses was highly specific in requiring their cognate MPs. We have shown that these rhabdovirus MPs are localized to the cell periphery and associate with cellular membranes, and that they interact only with their cognate nucleocapsid core proteins. These interactions are able to redirect viral nucleocapsid core proteins from their sites of replication to the cell periphery. Our study provides a model for the specific inter- and intracellular trafficking of plant rhabdoviruses that may be applicable to other negative-stranded RNA viruses.

Abstract
RNA interference is a crucial antiviral mechanism in arthropods, including in mosquito vectors of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). Although the exogenous small interfering RNA (siRNA) pathway constitutes an efficient antiviral response in mosquitoes, virus-derived P-element induced wimpy testis (PIWI)-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have been implicated in the response to alpha-, bunya- and flaviviruses in Aedes spp. mosquitoes. Culex mosquitoes transmit several medically important viruses including West Nile virus (WNV), but are considerably less well studied than Aedes mosquitoes and little is known about antiviral RNA interference in Culex mosquitoes. Therefore, we sequenced small RNA (sRNA) libraries from different Culex cell lines and tissues infected with WNV. The clear majority of virus-derived sRNA reads were 21 nt siRNAs in all cell lines and tissues tested, with no evidence for a role of WNV-derived piRNAs. Additionally, we aligned sRNA reads from Culex quinquefasciatus Hsu cells to the insect-specific rhabdovirus, Merida virus, which persistently replicates in these cells. We found that a significant proportion of the sRNA response to Merida virus consisted of piRNAs. Since viral DNA forms have been implicated in siRNA and piRNA responses of Aedes spp. mosquitoes, we also tested for viral DNA forms in WNV infected Culex cells. We detected viral DNA in Culex tarsalis cells infected with WNV and, to a lesser amount, WNV and Merida virus-derived DNA in Culex quinquefasciatus Hsu cells. In conclusion, Hsu cells generated Merida virus-derived piRNAs, but our data suggests that the major sRNA response of Culex cells and mosquitoes to WNV infection is the exogenous siRNA response. It is also evident that sRNA responses differ significantly between specific virus-mosquito combinations. Future work using additional Culex-borne viruses may further elucidate how virus-derived piRNAs are generated in Culex cells and what role they may play in controlling replication of different viruses.

Abstract
Triploid hybrid (3n = 150) of red crucian carp (♀, 2n = 100) and allotetraploid (♂, 4n = 200) presents the obviously stronger disease resistance than its parents. To elucidate the innate immunity of triploid hybrid, the MAVS homologues of triploid hybrid (3nMAVS), red crucian carp (2nMAVS) and allotetraploid (4nMAVS) have been identified and characterized separately in this study. 2nMAVS and 4nMAVS were evolutionarily conserved; however, 3nMAVS showed lower amino acid similarity and differently predicted structure to 2nMAVS or 4nMAVS. 3nMAVS transcription increase rate in host cells were obviously higher than 2nMAVS or 4nMAVS in response to different stimuli, which included spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV), grass carp reovirus (GCRV) and poly (I:C). The reporter assay in EPC cells showed that 3nMAVS owned much stronger ability to induce the production of DrIFNφ1 and eIFN than either 2nMAVS or 4nMAVS. Accordingly, EPC cells transfected with 3nMAVS presented obviously stronger antiviral activity against both GCRV and SVCV than the cells expressing 2nMAVS or 4nMAVS. All the data support the conclusion that 3nMAVS-mediated antiviral signaling during innate immune activation was stronger than those of 2nMAVS and 4nMAVS, which provided us the new insight on the innate immune system of triploid hybrid.

Abstract
TAK1-binding protein 1 (TAB1) forms the protein complex with TAK1 and enhances its kinase activity in human and mammals. To elucidate the role of TAB1 in the innate immunity of teleost sfih, the TAB1 homologue of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) (bcTAB1) has been cloned and characterized in this paper. bcTAB1 is composed of 498 amino acids and contains a typical PP2Cc domain like its mammalian counterpart. The transcription of bcTAB1 gene in vivo and ex vivo varied in response to different stimuli; and the immunofluorescence staining showed that bcTAB1 was distributed in both cytoplasm and nucleus of host cell. The reporter assay showed that neither bcTAB1-expression alone nor co-expression of bcTAB1 and bcTAK1 could activate the transcription of IFN in EPC cells. Accordingly, EPC cells expressing bcTAB1 or co-expressing bcTAB1 and bcTAK1 showed no improved antiviral activity against grass carp reovirus (GCRV) and spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV). However, EPC cells co-expressing bcTAB1, bcTAK1 and bcIRF7 showed fiercely increased IFN-inducing ability in reporter assay and obviously improved antiviral activity in plaque assay compared with EPC cells co-expressing bcTAK1 and bcIRF7. The subsequent co-immunoprecipitation assay identified that bcTAB1 associated with bcTAK1 but not interacted with bcIRF7. Based on our previous finding that bcTAK1 up-regulates bcIRF7-mediated IFN signaling during host innate immune activation, the data generated in this study support the conclusion that bcTAB1 interacts with bcTAK1 and boosts bcTAK1-activated bcIRF7/IFN signaling during host antiviral innate immune response against GCRV and SVCV.
