| Abstract |
Adenain, the protease produced by adenovirus, is regulated by formation of a heterodimer with an 11 aa peptide derived from the C terminus of another adenoviral protein, pVI. Here, the role of the basic motif KRRR, which is conserved in pVI sequences from human adenovirus serotypes, was investigated. It was shown that this motif is less important than the N- or C-terminal regions in the formation of the adenain-peptide heterodimer and in the activity of the subsequent complex. This motif, however, acted as a nuclear localization signal that was capable of targeting heterologous proteins to the nucleus, resulting in a distinctive intranuclear distribution consisting of discrete foci, which is similar to that found for pVI during adenovirus infection. |

As seen in figure 3, localization of PK and peptide sequence fusions were accomplished via HeLa cells that were transfected with plasmids expressing PK (PK control), PK fused to the known NLS from SV40 (SV40 NLS) or PK fused to the tetrapeptides indicated. The localization of PK or its fusion products was determined by immunofluorescence using an antibody to PK after fixation of the cells. |
