Identification and functional analysis of salmon annexin 1 induced by a virus infection in a fish cell line.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we investigated changes in protein expression of fish cells induced by infection of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) using two-dimensional electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption-time of flight proton motive force analysis and identified a novel type of salmon annexin 1 that is induced in fish cells by infection with IPNV. Northern blotting showed that this annexin is overexpressed in IPNV-infected cells compared to control cells, and further analysis revealed that it has a 1,509-bp full-length cDNA sequence with an open reading frame encoding 339 amino acids (GenBank accession no. AY944135). Amino acid sequence analysis revealed that this protein belongs to the annexin 1 subfamily. By applying RNA interference, the mRNA levels of salmon annexin 1 wer
