Protein detail:


Protein name Matrix Protein
Uniprot protein ID P35976
Protein length 335 amino acids
Protein description The M protein is thought to drive MeV assembly by physically recruiting the RNP and glycoproteins to the host cell plasma membrane. Studies have shown that altered interaction between M and the cytoplasmic tail of H or F affects MeV viral growth, indicating the necessity for contacts between M and the glycoproteins during assembly. Recent structural studies of NDV by cryo-ET and X-ray crystallography demonstrated that the RNP complex is aligned with M protein arrays16. Furthermore, it has been suggested that actin filaments play a role in the MeV assembly and budding process by facilitating the transportation of M-RNP complexes.

Title Amino Acid substitutions in matrix, fusion and hemagglutinin proteins of wild measles virus for adaptation to vero cells
Author Ji Yi Xin,Toshiaki Ihara,Katsuhiro Komase,Tetsuo Nakayama
Evidence Substitutions of E89G, S62R and S83P of the M protein were newly observed through adaptation to Vero cells, besides the mutations described in previous reports, with varying adaptation for each strain.
