[viral PYD-only protein; viral pyrin-only protein 1] This protein, also viral PYPAF1 or viral NLRP3, is encoded in the genome of the poxvirus Shope fibroma virus [Shope fibroma virus PYRIN-only protein]. It is a viral homolog of POP-1 [pyrin-only protein 1] (see: PYPAF1 [Pyrin-containing APAF-1-like protein 1]). The viral protein directly associates with ASC (CARD5) and inhibits signal transduction. Poxviruses are known to encode immune evasive proteins to promote host cell infection and suppression of the host immune response. Poxvirus-encoded vPOP functions an immune evasion protein
