Linker histone H1 (LHH1) is an abundant nuclear protein that condenses chromatin to form higher-order structure. The present study reported cloning and sequencing of 942 bp of LHH1 from liver tissue of rohu, Labeo rohita, with a complete coding sequence of 792 bp of having 263 amino acids. The phylogenetic tree of L. rohita LHH1 (LrLHH1) shared maximum similarity with that of Carassius auratus. The three dimensional model and domain architecture of LrLHH1 protein was also predicted using Swiss-Prot and SMART domain software. The expression of LHH1 during ontogeny showed significantly higher transcript level in milt, unfertilized eggs and up to 3 h post–fertilization followed by a dramatic decrease thereafter. The tissue-specific expression showed constitutive expression of LrLHH1 in all examined tissues. The expression of LHH1 during different infection models, namely, bacteria (Aeromonas hydrophila); ectoparasite (Argulus siamensis) and poly I:C induction revealed modulation in the level of expression at varied time points post-exposure in the liver and anterior kidney tissues of rohu. However, a synthetic peptide derived from LHH1 sequence of rohu did not have any detectable antibacterial activity. The present study provided necessary information on the role of this protein during ontogeny and innate immunity in Indian major carp species.
