🔬 Excited to share our latest preprint on the structure of the Ebola virus nucleocapsid, now available on bioRxiv!

biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share the pre-print describing our efforts to stabilize the HCMV gB ectodomain in a prefusion-like conformation. We and others have now routinely stabilized class I viral fusion proteins, but class III viral fusogens have been more difficult.

Structures of the Foamy virus fusion protein reveal an unexpected link with the F protein of paramyxo- and pneumoviruses biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

#poxvirus structure revealed by Jiasui Liu from B. Turonova's group & coworkers using #cryoET , subtomogram averaging & #alphafold . They uncovered the A10 trimer being the main component of the palisade layer, probably fulfilling functions during viral assembly and disassembly.
