Superfamily: Viral matrix protein, N-terminal domain

Many pleomorphic, lipid-enveloped viruses encode matrix proteins that direct their assembly and budding. Structural domains comprising this superfamily share the structure of the N-terminal domain of viral matrix proteins found in paramyxovirus and its relative, the measles virus. Viral matrix proteins are built of two domains that have similar beta-sandwich folds, N-terminal and C-terminal respectively, suggesting gene duplication during evolution.
