Double-ring assembly of mpox virus I3L reveals an unconventional mechanism for ssDNA engagement
{{output}}
Poxviruses, including variola and mpox virus (MPXV), are large dsDNA viruses that replicate their genomes in the host cytoplasm via virally encoded proteins. The single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB) I3L is an essential component of this replication machin... ...
