Abstract excerpt
The matrix (M) protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) functions in virus assembly and also appears to be involved in the inhibition of host gene expression that is a characteristic cytopathic effect of VSV infection. Previous studies have shown that expression of M protein inhibits host-directed transcription in the absence of other viral gene products and have suggested that only small amounts of M protein...
