Many enveloped viruses complete their replication cycle by forming vesicles that bud from
the plasma membrane. Some viruses encode “late”(L) domain motifs that are able to hijack …

The paramyxoviruses define a diverse group of enveloped RNA viruses that includes a
number of important human and animal pathogens. Examples include human respiratory …

For influenza virus, we developed an efficient, noncytotoxic, plasmid-based virus-like
particle (VLP) system to reflect authentic virus particles. This system was characterized …

The VP40 matrix protein of Ebola virus buds from cells in the form of virus-like particles
(VLPs) and plays a central role in virus assembly and budding. In this study, we utilized a …

Paramyxoviruses, such as Newcastle disease virus (NDV), assemble in and bud from
plasma membranes of infected cells. To explore the role of each of the NDV structural …

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a member of the Paramyxoviridae family of
nonsegmented, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA genome viruses, is a leading cause of …

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 …

The release of retroviruses from cells requires ubiquitination of Gag and recruitment of
cellular proteins involved in endosome sorting, including the ESCRT-III proteins and the …

The baculovirus expression system (BES) has been one of the versatile platforms for the
production of recombinant proteins requiring multiple post-translational modifications, such …

The Ebola virus membrane-associated matrix protein VP40 is thought to be crucial for
assembly and budding of virus particles. Here we present the crystal structure of a disk …
