The matrix protein M of Borna disease virus (BDV) is associated with the inner viral membrane and is thought to be a mediator between the nucleocapsid and the lipid-containing envelope in stabilizing the virus shape. The full-length BDV-M gene encoding a 16 kDa protein was expressed in Escherichia coli. M was purified to homogeneity and crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals of M belong to the space group I432, with unit-cell parameters a = b = c = 144.6 A, and diffract to 3.1 A.

D001891 Borna disease virus A species in the genus Bornavirus, family BORNAVIRIDAE, causing a rare and usually fatal encephalitic disease in horses and other domestic animals and possibly deer. Its name derives from the city in Saxony where the condition was first described in 1894, but the disease occurs in Europe, N. Africa, and the Near East.
