The African swine fever virus gene MGF_360-4L inhibits interferon signaling by recruiting mitochondrial selective autophagy receptor SQSTM1 degrading MDA5 antagonizing innate immun... by Hualin Sun, Jifei Yang, Zhonghui Zhang, Mengli Wu, Zhancheng Tian, Ying Liu, Xiaoqiang Zhang, Jianhao Zhong, Songlin Yang, Yikang Chen, Jianxun Luo, Guiquan Guan, Hong Yin, Qingli Niu

“…Finally, a recombinant ASFV lacking the MGF_360-4L gene (ASFV-∆MGF_360-4L) was generated using ASFV-CN/SC/2019 as the backbone, which demonstrated that the replication kinetics of ASFV-∆MGF_360-4L in PAM cells were like those of the highly virulent parental ASFV-WT in vitro. Domestic pigs infected with ASFV-∆MGF_360-4L exhibited milder symptoms than those infected with parental ASFV-WT, and ASFV-∆MGF_360-4L-infected pigs presented with enhanced host innate antiviral immune response, confirming that the deletion of the MGF_360-4L gene from the ASFV genome highly attenuated virulence in pigs and provided effective protection against parental ASFV challenge. …”
