Article Abstract
Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), a member of Janus kinase family, has been identified as a crucial protein in signal transduction initiated by interferons or interleukins in mammals. However, the function of avian TYK2 in innate immune response remains largely unknown. In this study, the full-length duck TYK2 (duTYK2) cDNA was cloned for the first time, which encoded a putative protein of 1187 amino acid residues and showed the high sequence similarity with bald eagle, crested ibis, and white-tailed tropicbird TYK2s. The duTYK2 was widely expressed in all examined tissues of healthy ducks and showed diffuse cytoplasmic localization in duck embryo fibroblasts (DEFs). Overexpression of duTYK2 significantly enhanced ISRE promoter activity and induced the expression of viperin, PKR, 2',5'-OAS, Mx and ZAP in DEFs. The C-terminal kinase domain of duTYK2 is essential for duTYK2-mediated ISRE promoter activation. Furthermore, knockdown of duTYK2 dramatically decreased duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV)-, duck enteritis virus (DEV)-, poly(I:C)- or poly(dA:dT)-induced ISRE promoter activation. Additionally, duTYK2 expression exhibited antiviral activity against DTMUV. These results indicated that duTYK2 played a critical role in duck antiviral innate immunity.

Non-classical MHC class I genes which, compared to classical MHC class I, are typically less polymorphic and have more restricted expression patterns are attracting interest because of their potential to regulate immune responses to various pathogens. In salmonids, among the numerous non-classical MHC class I genes identified to date, L lineage genes, including Sasa- and , are differentially induced in response to microbial challenges. In the present study, we show that while transcription of both and are induced in response to SAV3 infection the transcriptional induction patterns are distinct for each gene.

The picornavirus 3C protein plays a crucial role in viral infection. One of its functions is inhibiting the immune response by cleaving or degrading innate immune-related proteins to promote viral infection. Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a multifunctional host protein that plays a key role in various cellular processes, it also participates in viral infection.

The proteins encoded by Influenza A virus (IAV) evade the innate immune system through diverse strategies to facilitate their replication. However, the regulatory mechanisms remain not fully understood. In this study, we identified that the H9N2 PB1 protein suppressed the activities of the IFN-β, ISRE, and NF-κB promoters.

Parkin is an E3 ubiquitinated ligase that mainly participates in mitophagy and plays an essential biological role in organisms. To investigate Parkin's function in fish, a Parkin homolog was cloned from Epinephelus coioides (EcParkin). The open reading frame (ORF) of EcParkin consists of 1461 nucleotides and encodes a protein of 486 amino acids, with a predicted molecular weight of 53.
