Abstract excerpt
The matrix protein (M1) of influenza virus plays an essential role in viral replication. Our previous studies have shown that basic amino acids 101RKLKR105 of M1 are involved in RNP binding and nuclear localization. For the present work, the functions of 101RKLKR105 were studied by introducing mutations into the M gene of influenza virus A/WSN/33 by reverse genetic methods. Individual substitution, R101S or...
