RC STRAIN=A/wild bird/Wuhan/CDHN01/2015 {ECO:0000313|EMBL:ALR82124.1}; RA Chen L.-J., Lin X.-D., Guo W.-P., Tian J.-H., Zhang Y.-Z.; RT "Diversity and evolution of avian influenza viruses in live poultry RT markets, free range poultry and wetland regions in China."; RL Submitted (NOV-2015) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases. 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:0000256|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. {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU361247}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homotetramer; composed of two disulfide-linked dimers held CC together by non-covalent interactions. May interact with matrix protein CC 1. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069, ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU361247}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Virion membrane {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- CC Rule:MF_04069}. Host apical cell membrane {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- CC Rule:MF_04069}; Single-pass type III membrane protein CC {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069}. Note=Abundantly expressed at the CC apical 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:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069}. CC -!- DOMAIN: Cytoplasmic tail plays an important role in virion assembly and CC morphogenesis. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069, CC ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU361247}. CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: When the channel is activated, one or more imidazole CC moities of His-37 probably become bi-protonated. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- CC Rule:MF_04069}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the influenza viruses matrix protein M2 family. CC {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069, ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU361247}. CC -!- CAUTION: Lacks conserved residue(s) required for the propagation of CC feature annotation. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069}.
