The complete nucleotide sequence of a cloned full-length DNA copy of genome RNA segment 7 of influenza B/Lee/40 virus was determined. The mRNA (.apprx. 1175 viral nucleotides) for the nonglycosylated membranes protein of the virus (M1) is capable of coding for a protein of 248 amino acids, of which 63 are conserved between influenza A and B viruses. An internal hydrophobic domain, which includes 3 cysteine residues in the same positions, is also conserved between the M1 proteins of the 2 viruses and may be of functional significance. A 2nd coding region overlaps that of the influenza B M1 protein by 86 amino acids. This region could code for a maximum of 195 amino acids in the +2 reading frame, depending on whether or not the mRNA is spliced and the location of the initiating methionine residue. This region is likely to code for a protein analogous to the influenza A virus M2 protein. No obvious homology was detected in the deduced amino sequences of the M2 proteins of the 2 viruses. The size of the M1 coding regions is conserved between influenza A and B viruses, the B virus segment 7 is larger, with the difference largely due to a longer M2 coding region.
