Abstract excerpt
Adenovirus (Ad) precursor terminal protein (pTP) in a complex with Ad DNA polymerase (pol) serves as a primer for Ad DNA replication. During initiation, pol covalently couples the first dCTP with Ser-580 of pTP. By using an in vitro reconstituted replication system comprised of purified proteins, we demonstrate that the conserved Asp-578 and Asp-582 residues of pTP, located close to Ser-580, are important for the...
