Reduced expression of human metapneumovirus matrix protein impacts virus assembly and ribonucleoprotein localization

ABSTRACT Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) causes severe respiratory tract infections in all cohorts, particularly in vulnerable groups such as children, older adults, and the immunocompromised. The matrix (M) protein of HMPV, like the M proteins of other members of the order Mononegavirales, is involved in virus assembly a...
