Characterization of a novel binding protein for Fortilin/TCTP--component of a defense mechanism against viral infection in Penaeus monodon.

The Fortilin (also known as TCTP) in Penaeus monodon (PmFortilin) and Fortilin Binding Protein 1 (FBP1) have recently been shown to interact and to offer protection against the widespread White Spot Syndrome Virus infection. However, the mechanism is yet unknown. We investigated this interaction in...
