Abstract
Project funded by the SNSF SNF | P3 research database | Project 189151The M2 protein is a small viral membrane protein that performs a variety of tasks in the replication cycle of influenza A viruses. The protein's conductivity for protons plays an important role in the introduction of the viral genome into the host cell. The cytoplasmic region of the protein, however, is important for virus maturation. This section of the M2 protein interacts with numerous cellular proteins whose role in virus maturation and release is still largely unclear.
