Protein SUMOylation (SUMO is small ubiquitin-related modifier) is a dynamic process that is strictly regulated under physiological and pathological conditions. We previously cloned and characterized two SUMO homologue genes (EcSUMO1 and EcSUMO2) from orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). In the present study, the SUMO3 homologue fromE. coioides(EcSUMO3) was cloned and its possible roles in fish immunity were analyzed. The open reading frame of EcSUMO3 contains 285 base pairs encoding a 94 amino acid protein with a predicted molecular mass of 10.73 kDa. The protein sequence of EcSUMO3 revealed similar domains with mammals, including the UBQ (ubiquitin-like proteins) domain, the hydrophobic surface, the Ulp1-Smt3 interaction sites, a VKTE motif and the C-terminal Gly residues. EcSUMO3 shares 46.83% and 89.58% identity with EcSUMO1 and EcSUMO2, respectively, and it shares 94%, 98%, and 98% identity with SUMO3 from Oreochromis niloticus,Danio rerio, and Homo sapiens, respectively. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated that EcSUMO3 was constitutively expressed in all of the analyzed tissues in healthy grouper. EcSUMO3 expression levels were remarkably (p < 0.01) up-regulated in grouper spleen (GS) cells in response to stimulation with red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) and Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV). EcSUMO3 was distributed in both the cytoplasm and nucleus in GS cells. EcSUMO3 enhanced SGIV and RGNNV replication during viral infectionin vitro. These results are important for better understanding of the SUMO pathway in fish and provide insights into the regulatory mechanism of viral infection inE. coioidesunder farmed conditions.
