Influenza virus assembly and budding

open access: yesVirology, 2011
Influenza A virus causes seasonal epidemics, sporadic pandemics and is a significant global health burden. Influenza virus is an enveloped virus that contains a segmented negative strand RNA genome. Assembly and budding of progeny influenza virions is a complex, multi-step process that occurs in lipid raft domains on the apical membrane of infected ...

Paramyxovirus Glycoprotein Incorporation, Assembly and Budding: A Three Way Dance for Infectious Particle Production

open access: yesViruses, 2014
Paramyxoviruses are a family of negative sense RNA viruses whose members cause serious diseases in humans, such as measles virus, mumps virus and respiratory syncytial virus; and in animals, such as Newcastle disease virus and rinderpest virus ...

HIV‐1 matrix domain removal ameliorates virus assembly and processing defects incurred by positive nucleocapsid charge elimination

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2015
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 nucleocapsid (NC) basic residues presumably contribute to virus assembly via RNA, which serves as a scaffold for Gag–Gag interaction during particle assembly.

An Intracellular Model of Hepatitis B Viral Infection: An In Silico Platform for Comparing Therapeutic Strategies

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major focus of antiviral research worldwide. The International Coalition to Eliminate HBV, together with the World Health Organisation (WHO), have prioritised the search for a cure, with the goal of eliminating deaths from ...

Assembly and budding of influenza virus

open access: yesVirus Research, 2004
Influenza viruses are causative agents of an acute febrile respiratory disease called influenza (commonly known as "flu") and belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family. These viruses possess segmented, negative stranded RNA genomes (vRNA) and are enveloped, usually spherical and bud from the plasma membrane (more specifically, the apical plasma membrane of

Assembly of the Marburg virus envelope

open access: yesCellular Microbiology, 2012
The key player to assemble the filamentous Marburg virus particles is the matrix protein VP40 which orchestrates recruitment of nucleocapsid complexes and the viral glycoprotein GP to the budding sites at the plasma membrane. Here, VP40 induces the formation of the viral particles, determines their morphology and excludes cellular proteins from the ...

A stochastic assembly model for Nipah virus revealed by super-resolution microscopy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The current model for Nipah virus assembly suggests that packaging is orchestrated by the matrix protein at the plasma membrane. Here, using super-resolution microscopy and Nipah virus-like particles, Liu et al.

Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus: A Structural View

open access: yesViruses, 2018
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a growing health concern. It causes a severe disease that can lead to permanent neurological complications or death and the incidence of TBEV infections is constantly rising.

Bluetongue virus structure and assembly [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Virology, 2017
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an insect-vectored emerging pathogen of wild ruminants and livestock in many parts of the world. The virion particle is a complex structure of consecutive layers of protein surrounding a genome of ten double-stranded (ds) RNA segments. BTV has been studied as a model system for large, non-enveloped dsRNA viruses.
