Nipah virus (NiV) is a BSL-4 zoonotic paramyxovirus with [~]75% human mortality. The matrix protein (M) of NiV and other paramyxoviruses binds the inner leaflet of the cellular plasma membrane, orchestrating virion assembly by bringing together transmembrane glycoproteins (F/G) and ribonucleoprotein complexes (N). However, the interactions of these full-length proteins within membrane complexes remain elusive. Using cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram averaging of virus like particles (VLPs), we interrogated the protein:protein interactions of the main NiV structural proteins M/N/F/G. The M lattice structure determined to 7[A] revealed a novel M-dimer arrangement that yielded two distinct repeating holes. Notably, F-trimers were arranged above only one of the two holes, dependent on Fs cytoplasmic tail. G was enriched in regions of higher M-VLP curvature, while N dramatically increased M-VLP pleomorphism. This work provides novel insights into paramyxoviral protein complexes, structures, and morphology.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
