    Study Notes

    Influenza Virus Replication and Antiviral Targets

    • The viral protein M2 forms an ion channel that allows protons to enter the virus, weakening the interaction of M1 with nucleocapsids
    • M2 is a target for antiviral drugs, but drug resistance can occur due to viral mutations
    • M2 is a relatively small protein that forms a tetramer and creates a small pore in the virus envelope
    • Nucleocapsids enter the nucleus where mRNA synthesis and RNA replication occur
    • Orthomyxoviruses replicate in the nucleus, requiring complex machinery for viral replication
    • Nucleocapsids are exported from the nucleus in a complex with matrix protein (M1) and NS2
    • Capped cellular pre-mRNAs are used as primers for synthesis of viral mRNAs
    • Inhibitors of cellular RNA synthesis block the replication of influenza virus
    • Each genomic RNA segment contains a stretch of poly-U and viral mRNAs terminate in poly(A) tail
    • Transcription generates a set of 8 viral mRNAs, with segments 1-6 exported directly to the cytoplasm
    • Viral envelope proteins transverse through the ER and Golgi to assemble in the plasma membrane
    • M2 is involved in "pinching" the budding virions from the plasma membrane
