Structural insights into the interactions between lloviu virus VP30 and nucleoprotein.
Biochem Biophys Res Commun
August 2022
The family Filoviridae comprises many notorious viruses, such as Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV), that can infect humans and nonhuman primates. Lloviu virus (LLOV), a less well studied filovirus, is considered a potential pathogen for humans. The VP30 C-terminal domain (CTD) of these filoviruses exhibits nucleoprotein (NP) binding and plays an essential role in viral transcription, replication and assembly.

- The study investigates how arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) associations influence tree diversity across different latitudes, using data from over 2.8 million trees.
- AM trees were found to significantly contribute to reducing total tree diversity and turnover while enhancing nestedness at higher latitudes, contrasting with EcM trees that show less influence on compositional differences.
- Environmental factors, especially temperature and precipitation, were more closely related to the beta-diversity patterns of AM trees, emphasizing the role of AM associations in maintaining global forest biodiversity.
