The Src family kinases (SFK) are involved in signaling transductions that regulate numerous biological activities including host-virus interaction. These features of SFK have been well explored in vertebrates, however, in shrimp, the invertebrate SFK family member Src64B, has not been characterized and therefore its role in shrimp-virus interaction remains unknown. In this study, two Litopenaeus vannamei Src64B isoforms (designated LvSrc64B1 and LvSrc64B2) were first cloned and their role in white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection was explored. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that LvSrc64B1 and LvSrc64B2 were similar to other Src64B family members, with high homology in primary and tertiary structures, and contained the conserved SFK functional domains, as well as the putative myristylation and phosphorylation sites. Tissue distribution analysis showed that both LvSrc64B isoforms were ubiquitously expressed, albeit distinctively in the tested tissues. In addition, transcript levels of LvSrc64B1 and LvSrc64B2 were significantly induced following WSSV challenge and had similar expression patterns. Furthermore, siRNA-mediated knockdown of LvSrc64B1 and LvSrc64B2 followed by WSSV infection resulted in increased expression of viral genes, enhanced viral DNA replication, and elevation of hemocytes apoptosis. Depletion of LvSrc64B1 and LvSrc64B2 also reduced shrimp survival upon WSSV infection. In conclusion, the current data strongly suggest that Src64B is a host factor that inhibits WSSV replication by modulating apoptosis in shrimp.
