African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly pathogenic swine DNA virus with high mortality that causes African swine fever (ASF) in domestic pigs and wild boars. For efficient viral infection, ASFV has developed complex strategies to evade key components of antiviral innate immune responses. However, the immune escape mechanism of ASFV remains unclear. Upon ASFV infection, cyclic GMP-AMP (2′,3′-cGAMP) synthase (cGAS), a cytosolic DNA sensor, recognizes ASFV DNA and synthesizes the second messenger 2′,3′-cGAMP, which triggers interferon (IFN) production to interfere with viral replication. In this study, we demonstrated a novel immune evasion mechanism of ASFV EP364R and C129R, which blocks cellular cyclic 2′,3′-cGAMP-mediated antiviral responses. ASFV EP364R and C129R with nuclease homology inhibit IFN-mediated responses by specifically interacting with 2′,3′-cGAMP and exerting their phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity to cleave 2′,3′-cGAMP. Particularly notable is that ASFV EP364R had a region of homology with the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) protein containing a 2′,3′-cGAMP-binding motif and point mutations in the Y76S and N78A amino acids of EP364R that impaired interaction with 2′,3′-cGAMP and restored subsequent antiviral responses. These results highlight a critical role for ASFV EP364R and C129R in the inhibition of IFN responses and could be used to develop ASFV live attenuated vaccines. IMPORTANCE African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious hemorrhagic disease in domestic pigs and wild boars caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV). ASF is a deadly epidemic disease in the global pig industry, but no drugs or vaccines are available. Understanding the pathogenesis of ASFV is essential to developing an effective live attenuated ASFV vaccine, and investigating the immune evasion mechanisms of ASFV is crucial to improve the understanding of its pathogenesis. In this study, for the first time, we identified the EP364R and C129R, uncharacterized proteins that inhibit type I interferon signaling. ASFV EP364R and C129R specifically interacted with 2′,3′-cGAMP, the mammalian second messenger, and exerted phosphodiesterase activity to cleave 2′,3′-cGAMP. In this study, we discovered a novel mechanism by which ASFV inhibits IFN-mediated antiviral responses, and our findings can guide the understanding of ASFV pathogenesis and the development of live attenuated ASFV vaccines.
