The NF-kappaB/IkappaBalpha pathway plays an important role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. IkappaBalpha is an inhibitory molecule that sequesters transcription activator NF-kappaB dimer in the cytoplasm of unstimulated cells. Here, we isolated the full-length cDNAs of the mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) alpha inhibitor of NF-kappaB (ScIkappaBalpha) and p65 NF-kappaB (Scp65). Multiple sequence alignments showed that the amino acid sequences of both ScIkappaBalpha and Scp65 contain conserved domains similar to those of mammalian counterparts. Protein pull-down and coimmunoprecipitation assays showed that ScIkappaBalpha directly bound with Scp65. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that ScIkappaBalpha mRNA was constitutive in all mandarin fish tissues detected. After challenge with infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), the mRNA level of ScIkappaBalpha was decreased nearly 6 fold in the spleen. This result suggests that the NF-kappaB/IkappaBalpha pathway in mandarin fish may play a role in the immune response against ISKNV.

Mandarin fish ranavirus (MRV) is a distinctive member among the genus of the family . The persistently covert infection of MRV was previously observed in a natural outbreak of MRV, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that mandarin fish peripheral B lymphocytes are implemented as viral reservoirs to maintain the persistent infection.

Tripartite Motif-Containing 44 (TRIM44) is responsible for cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, and viral infections. However, the role of TRIM44 (scTRIM44) during viral infection remains unclear. In the present study, we analyzed the molecular characteristics of scTRIM44 and its role in infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), largemouth bass virus (LMBV), and Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) infection.

Iridoviruses are large cytoplasmic icosahedral viruses that contain dsDNA. Among them, mandarin fish ranavirus (MRV) and infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) are particularly notable due to their high contagiousness and pathogenicity. These viruses pose a significant threat to fish aquaculture, resulting in substantial annual economic losses for the fish farming industry.

Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is a key connector protein in interferon (IFN) signaling, crucial for IFN induction during the activation of antiviral innate immunity. In mammals, ring finger protein 5 (RNF5) functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, mediating STING regulation through K150 ubiquitylation to prevent excessive IFN production. However, the mechanisms underlying RNF5's regulation of STING in teleost fish remain unknown.

In this study, nine isonitrogenous experimental diets containing graded levels of carbohydrates (40 g/kg, 80 g/kg and 120 g/kg) and crude lipids (80 g/kg, 120 g/kg and 160 g/kg) were formulated in a two-factor (3 × 3) orthogonal design. A total of 945 mandarin fish with similar body weights were randomly assigned to twenty-seven tanks, and the experiment diets were fed to triplicate tanks twice daily for 10 weeks. Results showed that different dietary treatments did not significantly affect the survival rate and growth performance of mandarin fish.
