A Comparison of the Terminal Protein and Hexon Polypeptides of Avian and Human Adenoviruses

Department of Microbiology, John Curtin School of Medical Research, The Australian National University, P.O. Box 334, Canberra City, A.C.T. 2601, Australia

It was found that the virion terminal protein of chick embryo lethal orphan (CELO) virus had a molecular weight of 46000, and the hexon a molecular weight of 100000. ¹²⁵I-labelled tryptic and chymotryptic peptide maps of the hexons and terminal proteins from CELO virus and human adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) differed. However, limited proteolysis of CELO virus and Ad5 terminal proteins by protease V8 showed similarities which were not detected in the case of the two hexons.

Keywords: adenovirus, CELO virus, terminal protein, hexon
