Introduction: The drugs, amantadine and rimantadine, were effective against influenza A until recently when the influenza A strains became dominated by an S31N mutation displaying drug resistance.
Result: <
Result: 6 shows that the PISEMA spectra of 5 15N-labeled leucine residues in the M2 TM domain do not change significantly in the presence (red) or absence (black) of amantadine for the S31N, V27A, and A30T mutants.
Result: In order to further investigate the binding site of amantadine in M2 channels, we prepared mutants of the AM2 TM domain corresponding to the naturally occurring drug-resistant mutations, V27S, V27A, A30T, and S31N.

Introduction: Resistance to the second class of anti-influenza drugs, adamantanes, results in most cases from a single serine to asparagine amino acid replacement (S31N) in the matrix M2 protein, which can interfere with the drug's ability to block M2 ion channel activity and viral replication.
Result: Susceptibility to adamantanes was tested for all oseltamivir-resistant influenza A (H3N2) viruses by sequence analysis of the M gene; all strains had an S31N mutation in the transmembrane region of the M2 protein and were therefore resistant to these drugs (data not shown).
Genotypic and phenotypic resistance of pandemic A/H1N1 influenza viruses circulating in Germany.
Abstract: In addition, analysis of 1011 pandemic A/H1N1 virus samples by a PSQ-based assay according to the WHO protocol revealed the presence of mutation S31N in the M2 protein that conferred resistance to M2 ion channel inhibitors.

Introduction: Pandemic influenza A/H1N1 2009 virus (pH1N1) crossed into humans carrying a well-characterized amantadine-resistance mutation, S31N, within the M2 ion channel protein, rendering the adamantane class of antiviral drug ineffective against the virus.
Nationwide molecular surveillance of pandemic H1N1 influenza A virus genomes: Canada, 2009.
Discussion: All sampled Canadian viruses encoded the A/H1N1pdm signature S31N (M2) allele that conveys antiviral resistance to Amantadine.

Result: The analyses show that all influenza B (n = 10) samples were sensitive to oseltamivir, and all influenza A/H3N2 (n = 10) samples were resistant to amantadine (mutation S31N) and sensitive to oseltamivir.
[The 2009 pandemic influenza in Russia. I. Diagnosis and molecular biological characteristics of the virus].
Abstract: All the test strains contain the S31N substitution in the M2 protein, which determines viral resistance to adamantine, and have no H275Y substitution in neuraminidase, which determines oseltamivir resistance.

Abstract: Inhibition of the wild-type (wt) M2 channel and the A/M2-S31N and A/M2-V27A mutant ion channels were measured in Xenopus oocytes using two-electrode voltage clamp (TEV) assays.
Abstract: Only the smallest analogue 8 was found to inhibit the S31N mutant ion channel.
Introduction: Amongst all the new compounds tested, 8 was the only one able to inhibit A/M2 S31N channel with an IC50 of 252 muM, slightly higher than that of Amt (IC50 = 200 muM).
Introduction: Amt-resistant mutants are frequently detected among the two currently circulating subtypes of influenza A virus, A/H3N2 and A/H1N1, with the S31N mutation being observed in more than 90% of influen

Abstract: However, most of the current virulent influenza A viruses carry drug-resistant mutations alongside the drug binding site, such as S31N, V27A, and L26F, etc., each of which might be dominant in a given flu season.
Introduction: L26F, S31N, and V27A are relative
Introduction: Although S31N is the substitution found in current resistant strains, in other years V27A has predominated.
Introduction: Although a variety of mutations can lead to amantadine-resistance in vitro, only three mutants, S31N, V27A and L26F, are generally observed in transmissible viruses that infect pigs, birds and humans.
