Vibrio splendidus is one of the most opportunistic marine pathogens and infects many important marine animals, including the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus. In this study, two genes named DLD1 and DLD2, encoding dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) homologues in pathogenic V. splendidus, were cloned, and conditionally expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The enzymatic activities of DLD1 and DLD2 showed that they both belonged to the NADH oxidase family. Both DLD1 and DLD2 were located on the outer membrane of V. splendidus as detected by whole-cell ELISA. To study the adhesion function of DLD1 and DLD2, polyclonal antibodies were prepared, and antibody block assay was performed to detect the normal function of the two proteins. DLD1 and DLD2 were determined to play important roles in adhesion to different matrices and the adhesive ability of V. splendidus reduced more than 50% when DLD1 or DLD2 was defective.
