A pseudotuberculosis pathogen, Photobacterium damselae subsp.piscicida(Pdp), has caused enormous economic damage to yellowtail aquaculture in Japan. The Ivy gene has been discovered in plasmid ofPdp, and it has been proposed that it may help bacteria evade lysozyme-mediated lysis during interaction with an animal host. However, the lysozyme-inhibiting activity ofPdp-derived Ivy (Ivy-Pdp) is unknown, and it is unclear whether it acts as a virulence factor for host biophylaxis. In this study, the inhibitory effect of Ivy-Pdp on lysozyme was evaluated by expressing and purifying the recombinant Ivy-Pdp protein (rIvy-Pdp). The rIvy-Pdp protein inhibited hen egg white lysozyme activity in an rIvy-Pdp-concentration-dependent manner, and its inhibitory effect was similar under different temperature and pH conditions. The serum and skin mucus of the yellowtail (which is the host species of Pdp), Japanese flounder, and Nile tilapia showed bacteriolytic activity. In contrast, the addition of rIvy-Pdp inhibited the lytic activity in the serum of these fish species. In particular, it significantly inhibited lytic activity in the serum and skin mucus of Nile tilapia. On the basis of these results, we suggest that Ivy-Pdp is a temperature- and pH-stable lysozyme inhibitor. Additionally, Ivy-Pdp inhibited the lytic activity of lysozyme, which is involved in host biophylaxis. In summary, we inferred that Ivy-Pdp is an important factor that diminishes the sterilization ability of C-type lysozyme whenPdpinfects the host.
