Shrimp Virus Regulates ROS Dynamics via the Nrf2 Pathway to Facilitate Viral Replication
AbstractReactive oxygen species (ROS) of hosts are widely involved in intracellular signaling and against pathogens. Viruses manipulate ROS homeostasis of hosts as a strategy to evade ROS‐mediated negative effects of their infection, but the mechanisms remain unclear. The economically important aquaculture shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, is selected to investigate the molecular mechanism of how white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) regulates ROS dynamics and enhances viral replication. WSSV protein wsv220 binds to the repressor of shrimp nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 (LvNrf2), called Kelch‐like ECH‐associated protein 1 (LvKeap1), disrupting LvNrf2/LvKeap1 complex and facilitating LvNrf2 nuclear translocation. This activation of LvNrf2 causes up‐regulation of antioxidant genes, including glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (LvG6PDH), which increases nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and glutathione (GSH) production, effectively eliminating excessive ROS. Moreover, WSSV exploits LvNrf2 to establish a positive feedback loop by up‐regulating viral immediate early gene wsv051, which further enhances wsv220 expression. Knockdown of LvNrf2 or LvG6PDH reduces WSSV replication and increases host ROS levels. Therefore, WSSV hijacks LvNrf2 pathway to maintain ROS homeostasis and establishes a positive feedback loop to facilitate WSSV replication. These findings reveal a novel molecular mechanism of viral manipulation of host ROS dynamics and suggest potential antiviral strategies targeting LvNrf2 pathway.
