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.

Evidence The activity of the S58A, S61A, and T56A S58A mutants remained below that of the wt at all three input plasmid levels. The S61A mutant, which was not as impaired as the S58A and T56A S58A mutants, reached readthrough levels of about 55%
