Interferon regulatory factor (IRF) 3 and IRF7 are key regulators of type I interferon (IFN) gene expression for the antiviral immune response. In the present study, interferon regulatory factor 3 and 7 from Asian seabass, namely AsIRF3 and AsIRF7 were cloned and characterized. The full-length cDNA sequence of IRF3 and IRF7 consisted of 2965 and 2343 bp respectively. AsIRF3 and AsIRF7 were true orthologes of vertebrate IRF3/7 and showed similar domain organization, with an N-terminal DBD which consisted five tryptophan residues in IRF3 and four in IRF7, a C-terminal IRF3 domain and a serine rich region. Both IRF3 and 7 constitutively expressed during the ontogenesis and in all tissues of healthy fish. The expression of both genes was up-regulated following NNV challenge with obvious transcript abundance in brain heart and kidney. Ectopic expression of AsIRF3 and AsIRF7 displayed activation of ISRE/NF-kappa B promoters and modulation of interferon, ISGs and pro-inflammatory cytokine gene expression. These observations indicated that IRF3 and IRF7 play an important role in Asian seabass's antiviral defense and the RIG-IRF-IFN axis is conserved in the species.
