Disulfide-bond formation by a single cysteine mutation in adenovirus protein VI impairs capsid release and membrane lysis.

Abstract excerpt

The internal capsid protein VI mediates adenovirus (AdV) endosome penetration during cell entry. Essential to this process is the release of protein VI from the AdV capsid and subsequent membrane targeting and insertion by the liberated VI molecules within the endocytic vesicle. In this study, we describe a human AdV (HAdV) substitution mutant (AdV VI-G48C) within the critical N-terminal amphipathic α-helical...
