摘要： Members of the gasdermin (GSDM) family are critical for inducing programmable pyroptosis by forming pores on the cell membrane. GSDMB, GSDMC, GSDMD, and GSDME are activated by caspases or granzyme, leading to the release of their autoinhibitory domains. The protease SpeB from group A Streptococcus has been shown to cleave and activate GSDMA-mediated pyroptosis. Meanwhile, African Swine Fever Virus infection regulates pyroptosis by cleaving porcine GSDMA (pGSDMA) via active caspase-3 and caspase-4. However, it is not known whether virus-encoded proteases also target GSDMA. Here, we show that residues 1-252 of pGSDMA (pGSDMA1-252) is the pore-forming fragment that induces lytic cell death and pyroptosis. Interestingly, Seneca Valley Virus (SVV) infection induces the cleavage of both pGSDMA and human GSDMA and suppresses GSDMA-mediated cell death. Mechanistically, SVV protease 3C cleaves pGSDMA between Q187 and G188 to generate a shorter fragment, pGSDMA1-186, which fails to induce lytic cell death and lactate dehydrogenase release. Furthermore, pGSDMA1-186 does not localize to the plasma membrane and does not induce cell death, thereby promoting viral replication by suppressing host immune responses. These studies reveal a sophisticated evolutionary adaptation of SVV to bypass GSDMA-mediated pyroptosis, allowing it to overcome host inflammatory defenses.IMPORTANCEGasdermin A (GSDMA) remains a protein shrouded in mystery, particularly regarding its regulation by virus-encoded proteases. Previous studies have identified human GSDMA (hGSDMA) as a sensor and substrate of the SpeB from group A Streptococcus, which initiates pyroptosis. However, it is not clear if viral proteases also cleave GSDMA. In this study, we show that a fragment of porcine GSDMA (pGSDMA) containing the first 252 residues constitutes the pore-forming domain responsible for inducing lytic cell death and pyroptosis. Interestingly, picornavirus Seneca Valley Virus (SVV) protease 3C cleaves both pGSDMA and hGSDMA, generating a shorter fragment that fails to associate with the plasma membrane and does not induce pyroptosis. This cleavage by SVV 3C suppresses GSDMA-mediated lactate dehydrogenase release, bactericidal activity, and lytic cell death. This study reveals how SVV subverts host inflammatory defense by disrupting GSDMA-induced pyroptosis, thereby advancing our understanding of antiviral immunity and opening avenues for treating GSDMA-associated autoimmune diseases.
