CC -!- FUNCTION: Forms a proton-selective ion channel that is necessary for
CC the efficient release of the viral genome during virus entry. After
CC attaching to the cell surface, the virion enters the cell by
CC endocytosis. Acidification of the endosome triggers M2 ion channel
CC activity. The influx of protons into virion interior is believed to
CC disrupt interactions between the viral ribonucleoprotein (RNP), matrix
CC protein 1 (M1), and lipid bilayers, thereby freeing the viral genome
CC from interaction with viral proteins and enabling RNA segments to
CC migrate to the host cell nucleus, where influenza virus RNA
CC transcription and replication occur. Also plays a role in viral
CC proteins secretory pathway. Elevates the intravesicular pH of normally
CC acidic compartments, such as trans-Golgi network, preventing newly
CC formed hemagglutinin from premature switching to the fusion-active
CC conformation. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069}.
CC -!- ACTIVITY REGULATION: The M2 protein from most influenza A strains is
CC inhibited by amantadine and rimantadine, resulting in viral uncoating
CC incapacity. Emergence of amantadine-resistant variants is usually
CC rapid.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homotetramer; composed of two disulfide-linked dimers held
CC together by non-covalent interactions. May interact with matrix protein
CC 1. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Virion membrane {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:1501289}. Host apical cell membrane
CC {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1501289}; Single-
CC pass type III membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:1501289}. Note=Abundantly expressed at the apical
CC plasma membrane in infected polarized epithelial cells, in close
CC proximity to budding and assembled virions. Minor component of virions
CC (only 16-20 molecules/virion). {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069}.
CC -!- ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS:
CC Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2;
CC Comment=Only the first 9 residues are shared by the 2 isoforms.;
CC Name=M2;
CC IsoId=P05780-1; Sequence=Displayed;
CC Name=M1;
CC IsoId=P05777-1; Sequence=External;
CC -!- DOMAIN: Cytoplasmic tail plays an important role in virion assembly and
CC morphogenesis. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:16699003}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: When the channel is activated, one or more imidazole
CC moieties of His-37 probably become bi-protonated. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-
CC Rule:MF_04069}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the influenza viruses matrix protein M2 family.
CC {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069}.
