Influenza virus assembly and budding
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 ...

Assembly and budding of influenza virus
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
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
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
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]
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.
