Cleavage Efficiency by Adenovirus Protease Is Site-dependent
1996
Abstract The adenovirus protease cleaves consensus sequences (M/I/L)XGX-G and (M/I/L)XGG-X. Using purified recombinant protease, we showed that a peptide bearing the GX-G site was hydrolyzed more rapidly than a peptide bearing the GG-X site. The GX-G site was also preferentially cleaved on viral protein pVI which bears both sites of cleavage. Evidence is presented that suggests a biological role for this differential cleavage efficiency.
