This family contains viral VP40 matrix proteins that seem to be restricted to the Filoviridae. These play an important role in the assembly process of virus particles by interacting with cellular factors, cellular membranes, and the ribonuclearprotein particle complex. It has been shown that the N-terminal region of VP40 folds into a mixture of hexameric and octameric states - these may have distinct roles [1].
