In this study, three distinct Reeler domain-containing molecules were discovered in L. vannamei, designated as LvReeler1, LvReeler2, and LvReeler3. Analysis of tissue-specific expression patterns indicated that LvReeler1 showed predominant expression in the stomach, whereas LvReeler2 and LvReeler3 demonstrated peak transcriptional activity within gill tissues. The expression of these molecules was induced by Vibrio parahaemolyticus. In vivo interference with LvReelers expressions via dsRNA significantly increased the mortality rate of L. vannamei, while also leading to a marked increase in the bacterial load of V. parahaemolyticus in the gills. Additionally, recombinant proteins of LvReeler1 (rLvReeler1), LvReeler2 (rLvReeler2), and LvReeler3 (rLvReeler3) were successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. Antibacterial assays demonstrated that rLvReelers inhibited the growth of V. parahaemolyticus, Vibrio alginolyticus, and Vibrio harveyi, with rLvReeler3 exhibiting the strongest inhibitory activity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations revealed that rLvReeler3 caused bacterial aggregates to disintegrate after binding to V. parahaemolyticus and V. alginolyticus. In conclusion, LvReelers play an active role in the antimicrobial immune response of L. vannamei.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/md23050215","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,20]],"date-time":"2025-05-20T04:48:18Z","timestamp":1747716498000},"page":"215","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Reeler Domain-Containing Proteins Involved in the Antibacterial Immunity of Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Jianying","family":"Qi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Fisheries, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guoqing","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Fisheries, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huiling","family":"Xing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Fisheries, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhibin","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Fisheries, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheng","family":"Ke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Fisheries, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lili","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Fisheries, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"},{"name":"Shenzhen Institute of Guangdong Ocean University, Shenzhen 518114, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"381","DOI":"10.1080\/23308249.2018.1440530","article-title":"Gut Microbiota and its modulation for healthy farming of pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei","volume":"26","author":"Li","year":"2018","journal-title":"Rev.
