AC PRU01275; DC Domain; TR PROSITE; PS51927; COV_M; 1; level=0 XX Names: Coronavirus membrane (CoV M) protein Function: The CoV M protein, which functions as a homodimer, adapts a region of membrane for virus assembly and captures other structural proteins at the budding site. XX CC -!- FUNCTION: Component of the viral envelope that plays a central CC role in virus morphogenesis and assembly via its interactions with CC other viral proteins. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homomultimer. Interacts with envelope E protein in the CC budding compartment of the host cell, which is located between CC endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex. Forms a complex with CC HE and S proteins. Interacts with nucleocapsid N protein. This CC interaction probably participates in RNA packaging into the virus.
