Shown is an alignment between the putative coiled-coil region of the viral membrane-fusion proteins of Ebola, Marburg and the non-filovirus Rous sarcoma virus. Residues that are identical in all three viruses are indicated with asterisks. The regions shown correspond to the coiled-coil in MoMLV TM (Table 3). GenBank accession numbers (Benson et al., 1998) are: Ebola virus, 290392; Marburg virus, 2459880; and Rous sarcoma virus, 119487.
