Abstract
The core binding factor subunit beta (CBFβ) is a transcription factor that forms a complex with virial proteins to promote viral infection. In this study, we identified a CBFβ homolog from zebrafish (zfCBFβ) and characterized the biological activity. The deduced zfCBFβ protein was highly similar to orthologs from other species. The zfcbfβ gene was constitutively expressed in tissues and was induced in immune tissues after infection with spring viremia carp virus (SVCV) and stimulation with poly(I:C). Interestingly, zfcbfβ is not induced by type I interferons. Overexpression of zfcbfβ induced tnfα expression but inhibited isg15 expression. Also, overexpression of zfcbfβ significantly increased SVCV titer in the EPC cells. Co-immunoprecipitation assay revealed that zfCBFβ interacts with SVCV phosphoprotein (SVCVP) and host p53, resulting in the increased stability of zfCBFβ. Our results provide evidence that CBFβ is targeted by virus to suppress host antiviral response.
