Abstract
© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Yellow head disease (YHD) is an infectious disease of Penaeus monodon which is caused by the yellow head virus (YHV). YHV infection invariably leads to 100% shrimp mortality within 3–5 days. Currently, an effective method to prevent or cure shrimp from YHV infection has not been elucidated. Therefore, the molecular mechanism underlying YHV infection should be examined. In this study, early endosome antigen 1 (EEA1) protein that was involved in the tethering step of the vesicle and early endosome fusion was investigated during YHV infection. The open reading frame of P. monodon EEA1 (PmEEA1) was cloned and sequenced (3000 bp). It encoded a putative protein of 999 amino acids and contained the zinc finger C2H2 domain signature at the N-terminus and the FYVE domain at the C-terminus. Suppression of PmEEA1 by specific dsRNA in shrimp showed inhibition of YHV replication after 48 h post YHV injection (hpi). On the other hand, shrimp received only NaCl without any dsRNA showed high YHV levels at approximately one hundred thousand times at 24 hpi and 48 hpi. Moreover, silencing of PmEEA1 by specific dsRNA followed by YHV challenge demonstrated a delay in shrimp mortality from 60 hpi to 168 hpi when compared to the control. These results indicated that YHV required PmEEA1 for trafficking within the infected cells, strongly suggesting that PmEEA1 may be a potential target to control and prevent YHV infection in P. monodon.
