The actin-binding protein drebrin interacts with the respiratory syncytial virus matrix protein and promotes virus particle release.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an enveloped virus that assembles and buds at the plasma membrane, producing filamentous infectious particles. Unlike many other enveloped viruses, a substantial fraction of RSV virions remains associated with the surface of infected cells, limiting our understanding of the membrane-scission mechanisms responsible for particle release. Here, we identified the…
