Over Expression of Influenza Virus M2 Protein in Prokaryotic System
Background and Aims: Influenza A virus of Orthomyxoviridae family is able to create pandemic influenza. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza virus infection. Matrix protein 2 (M2) is a homotetramer ion channel with 97 amino acids length and highly conserved among influenza viruses and is considered for development of a universal influenza vaccine. Materials and Methods: We...
متن کاملSecretory protein biogenesis and traffic in the early secretory pathway.
The secretory pathway is responsible for the synthesis, folding, and delivery of a diverse array of cellular proteins. Secretory protein synthesis begins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which is charged with the tasks of correctly integrating nascent proteins and ensuring correct post-translational modification and folding. Once ready for forward traffic, proteins are captured into ER-derive...
متن کاملInfluenza A Virus M2 Ion Channel Protein:
A structure-function analysis of the influenza A virus M2 ion channel protein was performed. The M2 protein of human influenza virus A/Udorn/72 and mutants containing changes on one face of the putative a helix of the M2 transmembrane (TM) domain, several of which lead to amantadine resistance when found in virus, were expressed in oocytes of Xenopus laevis. The membrane currents of oocytes exp...

متن کاملPalmitoylation of the influenza A virus M2 protein.
The M2 proteins of a variety of influenza A viruses of different subtypes were shown to possess associated palmitate. Susceptibility to removal by reduction or treatment with hydroxylamine is consistent with attachment via a thioester linkage to cysteine. The absence of the acyl group from the M2 proteins of several equine viruses of the H3N8 subtype correlates with the replacement of cysteine ...
