Viral immediate early (IE) genes encode regulatory proteins that are critical for viral replication. WSV056 is an IE protein of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), an important pathogen of farmed shrimp. It targets the host Rb protein(s) and, according to a previous study, may enhance the replication of the viral genome. However, the ectopic expression of WSV056 in transgenic Drosophila melanogaster exerted an inhibitory effect on the replication of Drosophila C virus (DCV). Transcriptome study using Affymetrix GeneChip suggested that the enrichment of serine proteases (SPs) likely accounts for DCV inhibition in WSV056-overexpressing Drosophila. Injection of recombinant WSV056 to the WSSV natural host Litopenaeus vannamei enhanced the expression of the SP family member prophenoloxidase-activating enzyme 2 (LvPPAE2) and conferred shrimp with more resistance to WSSV infection. LvPPAE2 knockdown contributed to decreased expression of antimicrobial peptides LvAlf1 and LvLyz1, reduced hemolymph phenoloxidase activity, and increased virus load, suggesting that LvPPAE2 is involved in the host defense against WSSV infection. Taken together, these results suggest that wsv056 plays a role in restricting viral replication by inducing the SP-mediated immune responses in the host.
