ABSTRACT
Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is a large double-stranded DNA virus that is a major threat to grouper aquaculture. The pathogenesis of SGIV is not well understood so far. Previous studies have revealed that ICP18, an immediate early protein encoded by SGIV ORF086R gene, promotes viral replication by regulating cell proliferation and virus assembly. In the present study, the potential functions of ICP18 were further explored by probing into its interactors using a proximity-dependent BioID method. Since our in-house grouper embryonic cells (a natural host cell of SGIV) could not be efficiently transfected with the plasmid DNA, and the grouper genome data for mass spectrometry-based protein identification is not currently available, we chosen a non-permissive cell (HEK293 T) as a substitute for this study. A total of 112 cellular proteins that potentially bind to ICP18 were identified by mass spectrometry analysis. Homology analysis showed that among these identified proteins, 110 candidate ICP18-interactors had homologous proteins in zebrafish (a host of SGIV), and shared high sequence identity. Further analysis revealed that the identified ICP18-interacting proteins modulate various cellular processes such as cell cycle and cell adhesion. In addition, the interaction between ICP18 and its candidate interactor, i.e., cyclin-dependent kinase1 (CDK1), was confirmed using Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and Pull-down assays. Collectively, our present data provides additional insight into the biological functions of ICP18 during viral infection, which could help in further unraveling the pathogenesis of SGIV.
