Abstract

The influenza B virus BM2 proton-selective ion channel is essential for virus uncoating, a process that occurs in the acidic environment of the endosome. The BM2 channel causes acidification of the interior of the virus particle, which results in dissociation of the viral membrane protein from the ribonucleo-protein core. The BM2 protein is similar to the A/M2 protein ion channel of influenza A virus (A/M2) in that it contains an HXXXW motif. Unlike the A/M2 protein, the BM2 protein is not inhibited by the antiviral drug amantadine. We used mutagenesis to ascertain the pore-lining residues of the BM2 ion channel. The specific activity (relative to wild type), reversal voltage, and susceptibility to modification by (2-aminoethyl)-methane thiosulfonate and N-ethylmaleimide of cysteine mutant proteins were measured in oocytes. It was found that mutation of transmembrane domain residues Ser(9), Ser(12), Phe(13), Ser(16), His(19), and Trp(23) to cysteine were most disruptive for ion channel function. These cysteine mutants were also most susceptible to (2-aminoethyl)-methane thiosulfonate and N-ethylmaleimide modification. Furthermore, considerable amounts of dimer were formed in the absence of oxidative reagents when cysteine was i...Continue Reading
