== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/M2_I96A0 M2_I96A0] Forms a proton-selective ion channel that is necessary for the efficient release of the viral genome during virus entry. After attaching to the cell surface, the virion enters the cell by endocytosis. Acidification of the endosome triggers M2 ion channel activity. The influx of protons into virion interior is believed to disrupt interactions between the viral ribonucleoprotein (RNP), matrix protein 1 (M1), and lipid bilayers, thereby freeing the viral genome from interaction with viral proteins and enabling RNA segments to migrate to the host cell nucleus, where influenza virus RNA transcription and replication occur. Also plays a role in viral proteins secretory pathway. Elevates the intravesicular pH of normally acidic compartments, such as trans-Golgi network, preventing newly formed hemagglutinin from premature switching to the fusion-active conformation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04069]

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Water-mediated interactions play key roles in drug binding. In protein sites with sparse polar functionality, a small-molecule approach is often viewed as insufficient to achieve high affinity and specificity. Here we show that small molecules can enable potent inhibition by targeting key waters. The M2 proton channel of influenza A is the target of the antiviral drugs amantadine and rimantadine. Structural studies of drug binding to the channel using X-ray crystallography have been limited because of the challenging nature of the target, with the one previously solved crystal structure limited to 3.5 A resolution. Here we describe crystal structures of amantadine bound to M2 in the Inwardclosed conformation (2.00 A), rimantadine bound to M2 in both the Inwardclosed (2.00 A) and Inwardopen (2.25 A) conformations, and a spiro-adamantyl amine inhibitor bound to M2 in the Inwardclosed conformation (2.63 A). These X-ray crystal structures of the M2 proton channel with bound inhibitors reveal that ammonium groups bind to water-lined sites that are hypothesized to stabilize transient hydronium ions formed in the proton-conduction mechanism. Furthermore, the ammonium and adamantyl groups of the adamantyl-amine class of drugs are free to rotate in the channel, minimizing the entropic cost of binding. These drug-bound complexes provide the first high-resolution structures of drugs that interact with and disrupt networks of hydrogen-bonded waters that are widely utilized throughout nature to facilitate proton diffusion within proteins.
