Structural insights into the early transcription factors of the African swine fever virus.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) relies on a virus-encoded transcription machinery to initiate gene expression within cytoplasmic viral factories. The viral early transcription factor (VETF), a heterodimer composed of pD1133L and pG1340L, is required for early transcription and viral replication, yet its structural org...
