Dual oxidases (DUOXs) were originally identified as NADPH oxidases (NOXs), found to be associated with the reactive oxygen species (ROS) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production at the plasma membrane and crucial in host biological processes. In this study, SpDUOX1 and SpDUOX2 of mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) were identified and studied. Both SpDUOX1 and SpDUOX2 are transmembrane proteins, including an N-signal peptide region and a peroxidase homology domain in the extracellular region, transmembrane regions, and three EF (calcium-binding region) domains, a FAD-binding domain, and a NAD binding domain in the intracellular region. The SpDUOXs were expressed in all tissues examined, but mainly in hepatopancreas, heart, and mid-intestine. The expression of the SpDUOXs in the hemolymph of mud crabs was up-regulated after challenge with Vibrio parahemolyticus or LPS. RNA interference (RNAi) of the SpDUOXs resulted in reduced ROS production in hemolymph. The bacterial count increased in the hemolymph of mud crabs injected with SpDUOX1 or SpDUOX2-RNAi, while the bacterial clearance ability of hemolymph significantly reduced. At the phylum level, the phyla Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria were significantly increased, while Proteobacteria were significantly reduced following SpDUOX2 knockdown. There was a significant increase in the relative abundance of the genera Marinomonas, Pseudoalteromonas, Shewanella, and Hydrogenoph in SpDUOX2 depleted mud crabs compared with the controls. Our current findings therefore indicated that SpDUOXs might play important roles in maintaining the homeostasis in the hemolymph microbiota of mud crab.
