Assembly of Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 is regulated by latch-like properties of N and C terminal tails.

The matrix protein VP40 coordinates numerous functions in the viral life cycle of the Ebola virus. These range from the regulation of viral transcription to morphogenesis, packaging and budding of mature virions. Similar to the matrix proteins of other nonsegmented, negative-strand RNA viruses, VP40...

description The matrix protein VP40 coordinates numerous functions in the viral life cycle of the Ebola virus.

In this study, we investigate the molecular basis of synchronization as governed by VP40.
