Function
ACB1_BPFBB Counteracts the host CBASS antiviral defense system. Phosphodiesterase that enables metal-independent hydrolysis of the host cyclic di- and trinucleotide CBASS signals such as 3'3'-cGAMP, 3'3'cUA, and 3'3'3'-cAAA (PubMed:35395152). Does not cleave cGG or cA4 (By similarity). Besides evasion of the CBASS system, might also enable evasion of the type III CRISPR systems that use cA3 signals (By similarity).[UniProtKB:P04533][1]
