    As a lower vertebrate, the immune defense mechanism of fish mainly depends on the innate immune system. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors (NLRs) are an important class of pattern recognition receptors in the innate immune system. In this study, NOD1 gene was cloned and characterized in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The ORF of Nile tilapia NOD1 gene was 2826 bp long and encoded 941 amino acid residues with a structure of CARD-NACHT-LRRs that was similar to the other counterparts in mammals and fishes. Phylogenetic and synteny analysis showed that NOD1 was conserved among different fishes and existed at least in the early stage of fish evolution. Expression pattern revealed that NOD1 mRNA was constitutively expressed in the tested tissues, while had high expression level in main immune organs and mucosal immune tissues (liver, head kidney, spleen, blood, gill, and intestine). Following Streptococcus agalactiae challenge, Nile tilapia NOD1 mRNA expression levels were altered in immune organs (liver, head kidney, spleen, blood), and the expression pattern was similar in liver, spleen and blood. Furthermore, the ligand recognition and signaling pathway of Nile tilapia NOD1 were also analyzed, it showed that NOD1 could recognize Tri-DAP intracellularly and activated NF-κB signaling pathway. In summary, our results indicated that the Nile tilapia NOD1 may play an important role in innate immune system and provided a basis for the functional study of NOD1 in teleost.
