Grouper TRADD Mediates Innate Antiviral Immune Responses and Apoptosis Induced by Singapore Grouper Iridovirus (SGIV) Infection.

ABSTRACT: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor type 1-associated DEATH domain protein (TRADD) is a TNFR1-associated signal transducer and an essential component of the TNFR1 complex that is involved in activating both apoptotic and nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathways as an adaptor. It also is required for TNFR-1-initiated neuronal apoptosis following in vitro infection with virus as an essential component of the antiviral response. To date, few studies have investigated the function of TRADD in lower vertebrates and its antiviral response to DNA virus infection. In the present study, a TRADD gene (named as EcTRADD) from the orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) was cloned and characterized. The full-length cDNA of EcTRADD consists of 1,370 base pairs (bp) and contains a 44 bp 5'-terminal untrans
