Structural studies on the Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 indicate that matrix proteins of enveloped RNA viruses are analogues but not homologues.

abstract：:We have constructed a fungal subtractive suppressive library enriched in genes expressed during appressorium maturation in Magnaporthe grisea. Sequencing of 250 clones from the subtracted appressorium cDNA library revealed 142 unique genes, represented by 155 non-redundant ESTs (expressed sequence tags). Of these ESTs...
