Comments [?]

case <OC:Poxviridae>
Function Nuclease that is responsible for viral evasion of host cGAS-STING innate immunity. Cleaves 2',3'-cGAMP which is produced by host cGAS following recognition of cytosolic DNA and blocks the subsequent 2',3'-cGAMP-mediated activation of TMEM173/STING, which normally spreads to adjacent cells and activates the interferon and NF-kappa-B immune responses.
else case <OC:Viruses>
Function Nuclease that cleaves host 2',3'-cGAMP.
end case
case <OC:Insecta>
Function Nuclease that cleaves 2',3'-cGAMP.
end case
Catalytic activity RHEA:59472: 2',3'-cGAMP + H2O = Gp(2'-5')Ap(3') + H(+)
PhysiologicalDirection=left-to-right (RHEA:59473)
case <OC:Viruses>
Subunit Homodimer.
Domain The substrate binding site is formed by the N-terminus of a monomer and the C-terminus of the opposite monomer.
end case
case <Feature:PF17057>
Similarity In the N-terminal section; belongs to the poxin family.
In the C-terminal section; belongs to the Schlafen protein family. Subgroup poxviridae B3 subfamily.
else case <OC:Viruses>
Similarity Belongs to the poxin family.
else case <OC:Insecta>
Similarity Belongs to the poxin family. Highly divergent.
Caution The active site cannot be determined by similarity to the viral poxins.
