Rhabdoviruses belong to the special class of viruses whose linear single-strand genome
ribonucleic acid (RNA) is of negative polarity; ie their genome RNA is noninfectious and …

Cyclophilin A (CypA) is a key member of immunophilins that has peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans
isomerase (PPIase) activity. Besides acting as a cellular receptor for immunosuppressive …

Single-stranded M13 DNAs specific for various influenza virus genomic segments were
used to analyze the synthesis of virus-specific RNAs in infected cells. The results show that …

Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe hemorrhagic fevers in humans and non-human primates.
While the role of the EBOV major matrix protein VP40 in morphogenesis is well understood …

The morphogenesis and budding of virus particles represent an important stage in the life
cycle of viruses. For Ebola virus, this process is driven by its major matrix protein, VP40. Like …

The genome of influenza A viruses is composed of eight segments of negative polarity (see
Chapter 1). In infected cells, these virion RNAs (vRNAs) are both transcribed into messenger …

Several host proteins have been shown to play key roles in the life-cycle of vesicular
stomatitis virus (VSV). We have identified an additional host protein, cyclophilin A (CypA), a …

The matrix (M) protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a major structural component of
the virion which is generally believed to bridge between the membrane envelope and the …

The membrane-and ribonucleocapsid (RNP)-binding domains of the matrix (M1) protein of
influenza A virus (WSN strain) were partially mapped and characterized by reactivity with …

Superinfection exclusion (SIE) or cross-protection phenomena have been documented for
plant viruses for nearly a century and are widespread among taxonomically diverse viruses …
