The pathogenicity of a virus to a specific host species is an inerratic and describable ability of a virus to cause infection but is generally shaped by a variety of abiotic and biotic factors.

Host and Viral Proteins Modulating Ebola and Marburg Virus Egress
The filoviruses Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus are among the deadliest viral pathogens known to infect humans, causing emerging diseases with fatality rates of up to 90% during some outbreaks.

Minimum energy paths for conformational changes of viral capsids [PDF]
In this work we study how a viral capsid can change conformation using techniques of Large Deviations Theory for stochastic differential equations. The viral capsid is a model of a complex system in which many units - the proteins forming the capsomers -

The Ebola virus matrix protein clusters phosphatidylserine, a critical step in viral budding [PDF]
AbstractPhosphatidylserine (PS) has been shown to be a critical lipid factor in the assembly and spread of numerous lipid enveloped viruses. Here, we describe the ability of the Ebola virus (EBOV) matrix protein eVP40 to induce clustering of PS and promote viral budding in vitro, as well as the ability of an FDA approved drug, fendiline, to reduce PS ...

Understanding the process of envelope glycoprotein incorporation into virions in simian and feline immunodeficiency viruses [PDF]
The lentiviral envelope glycoproteins (Env) mediate virus entry by interacting with specific receptors present at the cell surface, thereby determining viral tropism and pathogenesis.

The matrix (M) protein is viewed as the regulator of paramyxovirus particle assembly and budding. Accordingly it was observed to be mutated, and/or decreased in amount, in cases where virus particle production was significantly reduced. Here, a non-productive [non-defective and defective interfering (DI)] Sendai virus infection of COS cells is ...

Influenza virus morphogenesis and budding. [PDF]
Influenza viruses are enveloped, negative stranded, segmented RNA viruses belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. Each virion consists of three major sub-viral components, namely (i) a viral envelope decorated with three transmembrane proteins ...

Chicken bromodomain-containing protein 2 interacts with the Newcastle disease virus matrix protein and promotes viral replication [PDF]
AbstractBromodomain-containing protein 2 (BRD2) is a nucleus-localized serine-threonine kinase that plays pivotal roles in the transcriptional control of diverse genes. In our previous study, the chicken BRD2 (chBRD2) protein was found to interact with the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) matrix (M) protein using a yeast two-hybrid screening system, but ...
