We identified two cDNAs designated as RbBPI/LBP-1 and RbBPI/LBP2, respectively, which were identified by expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated rock bream liver cDNA library. The two cDNA displayed 36.9% identity at the translated amino acid level. Despite the low level of identity between the two genes, high conservation was seen in the BPI/LBP/CETP N-terminal, LPS-binding, the proline-rich central and the BPI/LBP/CETP C-terminal domains. The full-length RbBPI/LBP-1 cDNA (1945 bp) contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 1431 bp encoding 476 amino acids. The full-length RbBPI/LBP-2 cDNA was 2652 bp in length and contained an ORF of 1422 bp encoding 473 amino acids. RbBPI/LBP-1 was significantly expressed in the spleen, liver, intestine and gill. On the other hand, RbBPI/LBP-2 showed significant expression in the kidney, peripheral blood leukocytes, and spleen. Real-time RT-PCR was used to examine RbBPI/LBP-1 and RbBPI/LBP-2 mRNA expression in kidney under conditions of bacterial and viral challenge. Experimental infection of rock bream with Streptococcus iniae, Edwardsiella tarda, and red sea bream iridovirus resulted in significant increases in RbBPI/LBP-1 and RbBPI/LBP-2 mRNA levels in the kidneys, however, the increases in transcription was seen at different time points.
► The BPI/LBP-1 and BPI/LBP-2 cDNAs in rock bream were identified.
► RbBPI/LBP-1 mRNA was predominately expressed in the spleen, liver, intestine and gill.
► RbBPI/LBP-2 mRNA was predominately expressed in the kidney, PBLs, and spleen.
► RbBPI/LBP-1 and RbBPI/LBP-2 were upregulated in the bacterial and viral infection.
