Adenoviral E4 34K protein interacts with virus packaging components and may serve as the putative portal

Abstract Studies on dsDNA bacteriophages have revealed that a DNA packaging complex assembles at a special vertex called the ‘portal vertex’ and consists of a portal, a DNA packaging ATPase and other components. AdV protein IVa2 is presumed to function as a DNA packaging ATPase. However, a protein t...
