Abstract excerpt
CM2 is the second membrane protein of influenza C virus and possesses three conserved cysteines at residue 1, 6 and 20 in its extracellular domain, all of which are involved in the formation of disulfide-linked oligomers of the molecule. In the present study, to examine the effect of CM2 oligomerization on virus replication, we generated a mutant recombinant virus, rC1620A, in which all three cysteines on CM2...
