In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that ASFV-DP is an early viral protein that is also detected at late times, which presents different subcellular locations during infection: at early times, it mainly localizes to the ER, while at later times, it accumulates at the viral factories, where it partially colocalizes with the cap structures and interacts with ribosomes via binding to RPL13a. The gene discussed is RPL13A; the disease is infection.
