Protein detail:


Protein name Matrix Protein
Uniprot protein ID P0DOE7
Protein length 256 amino acids
Protein description Matrix Protein, a non-glycosylated inner virion protein, plays a central role in infection. It is smaller than its paramyxovirus counterparts (256 a.a as compared to 335-375 a.a) and shares no clear sequence homology with them. All paramyxovirus M proteins are known to be strongly membrane-associated and have similar hydropathy profiles. There is a common region of low hydrophobicity at the N-terminus followed by a gradual increase in hydrophobic value towards the C-terminus, which includes a highly hydrophobic region. The hydrophobic regions are smaller than the minimum required for a transmembrane domain, but may mediate peripheral attachment to the host cell membrane.

Title The Thr205 Phosphorylation Site within Respiratory Syncytial Virus Matrix (M) Protein Modulates M Oligomerization and Virus Production
Author M.Bajorek,L.Caly,K.C.Tran,G.N.Maertens,R.A.Tripp
Evidence To test for the importance of Thr205 in RSV infection, we substituted Thr205 to either a nonphosphorylatable Ala (T205A) or phosphomimetic Asp (T205D) residue in the context of the full-length RSV A2 antigenome using reverse genetics (40). Although RSV wi
