Reduced incorporation of the influenza B virus BM2 protein in virus particles decreases infectivity.

Virology - 1 May 2004

Jackson David, Zürcher Thomas, Barclay Wendy

Abstract excerpt

BM2 is the fourth integral membrane protein encoded by the influenza B virus genome. It is synthesized late in infection and transported to the plasma membrane from where it is subsequently incorporated into progeny virus particles. It has recently been reported that BM2 has ion channel activity and may be the functional homologue of the influenza A virus M2 protein acting as an ion channel involved in viral...
