Receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3) has been demonstrated to be a key regulator not only in cell death pathways including apoptosis and necroptosis but also in inflammation and host immune responses. In this study, a RIP3 ortholog named Lc-RIP3 is identified in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea). The open reading frame (ORF) of Lc-RIP3 is 1524 bp long and encodes a protein of 507 amino acids (aa). The deduced Lc-RIP3 protein has an N-terminal kinase domain and a C-terminal RHIM domain, and the genome organization of Lc-RIP3 is conserved in teleosts with 12 exons and 11 introns but is different from that in mammals, which comprises 10 exons and 9 introns. Confocal microscopy revealed that Lc-RIP3 is a cytosolic protein. The expression analysis at the mRNA level indicated that Lc-RIP3 is ubiquitously distributed in various tissues/organs, and could be up-regulated under poly I:C, LPS, PGN, and Pseudomonas plecoglossicida stimulation in vivo. Notably, Lc-RIP3 could induce NF-κB but not IRF3 activation. In addition, Lc-RIP3 co-expression with Lc-TRIF, Lc-MAVS, or Lc-IRF3 significantly abolishes the activation of NF-κB but enhances the induction of IRF3 activity. Moreover, NF-κB activity could be up-regulated when Lc-RIP3 is co-expressed with Lc-RIP1 or Lc-IRF7. These results collectively indicate that Lc-RIP3 acts as an important regulator in host innate immune signaling in teleosts. |
