In this study, a sea cucumber Fas-associated death domain (FADD) named HLFADD was first cloned from Holothuria leucospilota. The full-length cDNA of HLFADD is 2137 bp in size, containing a 116-bp 5'-untranslated region (UTR), a 1334-bp 3'-UTR and a 687-bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a protein of 228 amino acids with a deduced molecular weight of 26.42 kDa. HLFADD protein contains a conserved death effector domain at its N-terminal and a conserved death domain at its C-terminal, structurally similar to its counterparts in vertebrates. The over-expressed HLFADD protein could induce apoptosis in HEK293 cells, suggesting a possible death receptor-mediated apoptosis pathway in echinoderms adapted with FADD. Moreover, HLFADD mRNA is ubiquitously expressed in all examined tissues, with the highest transcript level in the coelomocytes, followed by intestine. In vitro experiments performed in the H. leucospilota coelomocytes, the expression of HLFADD mRNA was significantly up-regulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid [poly (I:C)] challenge, suggesting that HLFADD might play important roles in the innate immune defense of sea cucumber against the invasion of bacteria and viruses.
