Protein detail:


Protein name Matrix (M2/22K)
Uniprot protein ID P04545
Protein length 194 amino acids
Protein description Matrix (M2/22K) acts as a tetrameric transcription processivity factor that binds in a competitive manner to RNA and the phosphoprotein (P) to prevent premature termination during transcription. Transcription anti-terminator that enhances readthrough of intergenic junctions during viral transcription. Preferentially binds to poly(A)-rich sequences. Matrix (M2/22K) plays a role in the association of the matrix protein with the nucleocapsid, which initiates assembly and budding. Also, can activate host NF kappa-B through association with host RELA.
