Cover Story: Viral protein VP24 (VP24) from Ebola virus (EBOV) has been termed a minor matrix protein but its lipid-binding properties have not been investigated. Here, we found that VP24 (left image) lacks direct lipid-binding properties, regardless of post-translational modification. VP24 interaction with the major matrix protein VP40 (right image) and selective plasma membrane localization was not detected, suggesting VP24 biological functions are not likely dependent on direct lipid binding.
