Abstract excerpt
The influenza A virus M1 and M2 proteins play important roles in virus assembly and in the morphology of virus particles. Mutations in the distal cytoplasmic tail region of M2, and in particular a tyrosine-to-alanine mutation at residue 76 (Y76A), were essential for infectious virus production and filament formation while having limited effects on total virus particle budding. Using a novel selection method,...
