Gammatubuliner is a term used in the field of virology to describe a group of viruses that have a unique structural feature in their virions. The term is derived from the Greek word "gamma," which refers to the shape of the tubules that are characteristic of these viruses, and "tubuline," which refers to the protein that forms these tubules. Gammatubuliner viruses are enveloped viruses, meaning they have a lipid bilayer envelope surrounding their nucleocapsid. The nucleocapsid is composed of a helical or icosahedral capsid, which is surrounded by a proteinaceous layer called the tegument. The tegument is composed of a complex of proteins that are involved in viral replication and virion assembly. The most well-known gammatubuliner viruses are the filoviruses, which include Ebola virus and Marburg virus, and the arenaviruses, which include Lassa virus and Junin virus. Gammatubuliner viruses are known for their ability to cause severe and often fatal diseases in humans and other animals. The structure of the gammatubuliner virion is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of these viruses, as it allows them to evade the host's immune system and infect a wide range of cell types. The study of gammatubuliner viruses is an active area of research, with scientists working to develop new treatments and vaccines for the diseases they cause.
