The holoenzyme is recognized as a vital antiviral target because MPXV replicates in the cytoplasm of host cells. Nucleotide analogs such as cidofovir and cytarabine (Ara-C) have shown potential in curbing MPXV replication and they also display promise against other poxviruses. However, the mechanism behind their inhibitory effects remains unclear. Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of the DNA polymerase holoenzyme F8/A22/E4 bound with its competitive inhibitor Ara-C-derived cytarabine triphosphate (Ara-CTP) at an overall resolution of 3.0 A and reveal its inhibition mechanism. Ara-CTP functions as a direct chain terminator in proximity to the deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP)-binding site. The extra hydrogen bond formed with Asn665 makes it more potent in binding than dCTP. Asn665 is conserved among eukaryotic B-family polymerases.
