This protein is encoded by the elongated unspliced matrix protein M gene of the tick-transmitted orthomyxovirus Thogoto virus. Viruses deficient in ML expression are efficient interferon inducers, whereas wild-type strains expressing ML are poor interferon inducers. Expression of ML efficiently suppresses activation of the IFN-beta promoter by double-stranded RNA, suggesting that ML functions as a potent interferon antagonist by blocking transcriptional activation of IFN-alpha and IFN-beta.
