Structure of the error-prone DNA ligase of African swine fever virus identifies critical active site residues

The DNA ligase of African swine fever virus is one of the most error-prone ligases identified to date, but underlying molecular details are lacking. Here, Chen et al. report four AsfvLIG:DNA structures and identify a unique N-terminal domain and four unique active site residues that are crucial for...
