Protein detail:


Protein name Matrix Protein 2
Uniprot protein ID C3W5X3
Protein length 97 amino acids
Protein description The M2 protein channel consists of 97 residues: (1) an ectodomain (residues 1-24); (2) the pore-forming TM helix (residues 25-43); (3) an amphiphilic C-terminal helix (residues 47-60); and (4)a cytoplasmic tail (residues 61-97). The influenza A virus M2 protein, a tetrameric type III integral transmembrane (TM) protein, is known to play an essential role in viral replication by mediating the acidification and uncoating of endosomally entrapped virus. The tetrameric M2 in the viral membrane functions as pH-dependent proton channels to equilibrate pH across the viral membrane during entry and across the trans-Golgi membrane of infected cells during viral maturation.

Title Genetic makeup of amantadine-resistant and oseltamivir-resistant human influenza A/H1N2 viruses
Author Hassan Zaraket,Reiko Saito,Yasushi Suzuki,Tatiana Baranovich,Clyde Dapat
Evidence Almost all amantadine-resistant viruses of both the A/H1N1 and the A/H3N2 subtypes have a serine-to-asparagine mutation at position 31 (S31N) of the M2 ion channel protein, and the oseltamivir-resistant A/H1N1 strain has a histidine-to-tyrosine mutation at position 275 (H275Y, N1 numbering) of the neuraminidase (NA) protein.
