We report the cloning and characterization of a cDNA encoding the valosin-containing protein (VCP) from the Haemaphysalis longicornis tick (HlVCP). The full-length HlVCP is 2782 bp and codes for 808 amino acids of a deduced protein with a predicted molecular mass of 89.9 kDa. The domain structure analysis revealed that the deduced protein has 2 Walker A domains, 2 Walker B domains, a Cdc48 domain, and a polyQ-binding domain. The mouse anti-HlVCP serum recognized a 97 kDa native protein in the salivary glands, midgut, and synganglion. RT–PCR analysis revealed that the native VCP was expressed throughout the developing stages and in tick organs. HlVCP silencing resulted in a decrease in tick body mass after blood feeding. This study not only contributes to a growing understanding of the ATPase gene family but also lays the groundwork for future studies on protein secretion and host–tick interaction. This study is the first report of the VCP gene from Chelicerata, which include spiders, scorpions, and ticks.
