Type: | Domain | Name: | Influenza matrix M1, N-terminal subdomain 1 |
Description: | Matrix protein (M1) of Influenza virus is a bifunctional membrane/RNA-binding protein that mediates the encapsidation of RNA-nucleoprotein cores into the membrane envelope. It is therefore required that M1 binds both membrane and RNA simultaneously []. M1 is comprised of two domains connected by a linker sequence. The N-terminal domain has a multi-helical structure that can be divided into two subdomains: subdomain 1 forms an up-down helical bundle and subdomain 2 forms an orthogonal bundle []. The C-terminal domain also contains alpha-helical structure. | Short Name: | Flu_matrix_M1_N_sub1 |
