Dual oxidase (Duox) a member of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX) family can induce the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In vertebrates, the duox gene was indicated to be associated with the mucosal immunity. The roles of the duox gene in invertebrates were mainly studied in insects for the function of maintaining intestinal flora balance. In recent years, some studies have reported that Duox is involved in regulating the production of ROS and plays an important role in defending against the intestinal pathogen infection. However, the molecular mechanism has not been fully illuminated. In this study, a duox 2 involved in the production of H2O2 was identified for the first time in P. clarkii. Mature Pc-Duox 2 is a 7-transmembrane protein molecule that includes PHD, FAD, and NAD domains. Pc-duox 2 was mainly expressed in hemocytes and intestinal tissue. Its expression levels were obviously upregulated after intramuscular or oral infection with V. harveyi. In the RNAi assay, the upregulated trends of H2O2 and total ROS levels in crayfish intestine were significantly suppressed when Pc-duox 2 was knocked down. Compared with the slightly affected SOD activity, the upregulated CAT activity was suppressed more obviously in the crayfish intestine. Furthermore, Pc-duox 2 had an important effect on the maintenance of the structural stability of crayfish the intestine. Further research revealed that the knockdown of Pc-duox 2 could cause an obvious suppression in the upregulated levels of Toll signalling pathway-related genes, including Pc-toll 1, Pc-toll 3, Pc-dorsal, Pc-ALF 5, Pc-crustin 1, and Pc-lysozyme. Ultimately, these changes triggered the accelerated death of crayfish. Overall, we speculated that Pc-duox 2 played an important role in antibacterial innate immunity in the crayfish intestine by regulating the total ROS level.
