Adenoviral core protein VII The function of this protein is unknown. It has a conserved amino terminus of 50 residues followed by a positively charged tail, suggesting it may interact with nucleic acid. The major core protein of the adenovirus, protein VII, was found to be associated with viral DNA throughout infection. The precursor to protein VII were shown to be in vivo and in vitro acceptors of ADP-ribose. The ADP-ribosylated core proteins were assembled into mature virus particles. ADP-ribosylation of adenovirus core proteins may have a role in virus decapsidation. |
