The Penaeus stylirostris densovirus (PstDNV) (also known as infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus, IHHNV), a very small DNA virus, is a major shrimp pathogen. The PstDNV genome encodes only two nonstructural proteins and one capsid protein. This virus is thus an ideal, simple model for the investigation of virus-host interactions. To explore the role of the PstDNV capsid in viral infections, a yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) cDNA library was constructed based on Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei mRNA. The Y2H library was then screened, using the PstDNV capsid protein as bait. We identified a host protein that interacted strongly with the PstDNV capsid as L. vannamei troponin I (LvTnI). An in vitro co-immunoprecipitation experiment further supported this interaction. In addition, an in vivo neutralization experiment showed that the vaccination with anti-LvTnI significantly reduced PstDNV copies in PstDNV-challenged shrimp, indicating that the interaction between the PstDNV capsid and cellular LvTnI is essential for PstDNV infection. This result has important implications for our understanding of the mechanisms by which PstDNV infects shrimp.

A co-expressed densovirus (DNV) capsid and dsRNA specific to the yellow head virus (YHV) (CoEx cpDNV/ds) has been shown to suppress YHV replication in the Pacific white-legged shrimp (). However, maintaining two plasmids in a single bacterial cell is not desirable; therefore, a single plasmid harboring both the DNV capsid and the dsRNA-YHV- gene was constructed under the regulation of a single T7 promoter, designated pET28a-Linked cpDNV-ds. Following induction, this novel construct expressed an approximately 37-kDa recombinant protein associated with a roughly 400-bp dsRNA (Linked cpDNV-ds).

The Penaeus stylirostris densovirus (PstDNV) is a major virus of shrimps that severely harms the shrimp farming industry. Peritrophin is a peritrophic membrane protein with chitin binding activity. To examine the roles of peritrophin in viral infection, we used yeast two-hybrid to analyze the interaction between the Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) peritrophin and PstDNV proteins (CP, NS1 and NS2).

Viral capsid proteins play an important role in the viral infection process. To identify the cellular proteins in shrimp that interact with the Penaeus stylirostris densovirus capsid protein (PstDNV-CP), we constructed a yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) cDNA library of the muscle tissue of Litopenaeus vannamei, and hybridized the bait vector pGBKT7-CP with this library. Cloning and sequencing showed that the shrimp protein interacting with PstDNV-CP was a homolog of BRCA2 and CDKN1A(p21)-interacting protein (BCCIP).

The activation of the innate RNA interference pathway through double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) is one of the approaches to protecting shrimp from viruses. Previous studies have shown that injection of specific dsRNAs can successfully inhibit viral infection in shrimp. However, inhibition requires high levels of dsRNA and dsRNA stability in shrimp is limited.
