Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease with pandemic potential. It is caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), adouble-stranded DNA virus from the Poxviridae family. MPXV replicates in cytoplasm and thus, it must encode for the DNA/RNA replication machinery. Besides the DNA-dependent DNA and RNA polymerases, it also encodes for the RNA capping enzymes. In poxviruses, the RNA cap is crucial for the translation and stability of viral RNA and for immune evasion. One of the key components of the monkeypox virus RNA capping machinery is the RNA methyltransferase (MTase) VP39.
