CC   -!- FUNCTION: Forms presumably a highly low-pH gated proton-selective
CC       channel. Trp-23 may function as a minimalistic gate that opens and
CC       closes the pore. When the environmental pH is lower than a threshold,
CC       the BM2 channel would be activated and selectively transport protons
CC       across the membrane from the extracellular side to the cytoplasmic
CC       side. Crucial for the uncoating process. When the virion is
CC       internalized into the endosome, the channel acidifies the virion's
CC       interior, promoting the dissociation of matrix protein 1 (M1) from the
CC       ribonucleoprotein (RNP) thus allowing the transport of the RNP from the
CC       virion into the cell's nucleus. Also plays a role in viral proteins
CC       secretory pathway. Elevates the intravesicular pH of normally acidic
CC       compartments, such as trans-Golgi network, preventing newly formed
CC       hemagglutinin from premature switching to the fusion-active
CC       conformation (By similarity). Plays a crucial role in virion assembly.
CC       Expressed in the late phase of the infection. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Homotetramer. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Virion membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type
CC       III membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Host cell membrane {ECO:0000250};
CC       Single-pass type III membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Transported
CC       to the plasma membrane through the trans Golgi network. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- PTM: Phosphorylated by host.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Influenza B virus genome RNA segment 7 encodes the M1
CC       (AC Q76ZA3) and BM2 proteins. Normal translation produces the M1
CC       protein. The M1 termination codon overlaps the BM2 initiation codon in
CC       an overlapping stop-start pentanucleotide 5'-UAAUG-3'. Termination of
CC       M1 translation triggers reinitiation on the BM2 AUG in the +2 open
CC       reading frame.
