Abstract excerpt
Influenza A virus encodes M2, a proton channel that has been shown to be important during virus entry and assembly. In order to systematically investigate the role of the membrane-proximal residues in the M2 cytoplasmic tail in virus replication, we utilized scanning and directed alanine mutagenesis in combination with transcomplementation assays and recombinant viruses. The membrane-proximal residues 46 to 69...
