Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the ube3a gene in Japanese flounder, a member of the E3 ubiquitin ligase family, and its potential role in fighting off Chinook salmon bafnivirus (CSBV).
- - Researchers cloned the ube3a gene, noting its high similarity (94%) to the Atlantic halibut and found that this gene is most expressed in the fin, gills, and skin of the fish.
- - In experiments, overexpressing ube3a led to a reduced viral load in infected gill cells, while blocking its function increased the viral load, indicating that ube3a likely has a significant antiviral effect through the ubiquitination pathway.
