Adenoviruses are non-enveloped icosahedral viruses with trimeric fibre proteins protruding from their vertices. There are five known genera, from which only Mastadenoviruses have been widely studied. Apart from studying adenovirus as a biological model system and with a view to prevent or combat viral infection, there is a major interest in using adenovirus for vaccination, cancer therapy and gene therapy purposes. Adenoviruses from the Atadenovirus genus have been isolated from squamate reptile hosts, ruminants and birds and have a characteristic gene organization and capsid morphology. The carboxy-terminal virus-distal fibre head domains are likely responsible for primary receptor recognition. We determined the high-resolution crystal structure of the Snake Adenovirus 1 (SnAdV-1) fibre head using the multi-wavelength anomalous dispersion (MAD) method. Despite the absence of significant sequence homology, this Atadenovirus fibre head has the same beta-sandwich propeller topology as other adenovirus fibre heads. However, it is about half the size, mainly due to much shorter loops connecting the beta-strands. The detailed structure of the SnAdV-1 fibre head and other animal adenovirus fibre heads, together with the future identification of their natural receptors, may lead to the development of new strategies to target adenovirus vectors to cells of interest.

ABSTRACT Prior work by members of our laboratory and others demonstrated that adenovirus serotype 30 (Ad30), a group D adenovirus, exhibited novel transduction characteristics compared to those of serotype 5 (Ad5, belonging to group C). While some serotype D adenoviruses bind to the coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR), the ability of Ad30 fiber to bind CAR is unknown. We amplified and purified Ad30 and cloned the Ad30 fiber by overlap PCR. Alignment of Ad30 fiber with Ad3, Ad35, Ad5, Ad9, and Ad17 revealed that Ad30, like Ad9 and Ad17, has a shortened fiber sequence relative to that of Ad5. The knob region of fiber was 45% identical to that of the Ad5 knob regions. We made a chimeric recombinant virus (Ad5GFPf30) in which the Ad5 fiber (amino acids [aa]47 to 582) was replaced with Ad30 fiber sequences (aa 46 to 372), and CAR-mediated viral entry was determined on CAR-expressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. While CAR expression significantly increased Ad5GFP-mediated transduction in CHO cells (from 1 to 36%), it did not enhance Ad5GFPf30 gene transfer. Binding of radiolabeled Ad5GFPf30 or Ad30 wild-type virus was also not improved by the expression of CAR. These results suggest that Ad30 fiber is distinct from Ad5, Ad9, and Ad17 fibers in its inability to direct transduction via CAR.

Abstract Assessment of the current incidence of different adenovirus types in local gastroenteritis involved the examination of over 1,000 stool specimens annually from 1988–1992. Adenoviruses were detected by electron microscopy and/or cell culture in 32% of the specimens in which a viral pathogen was detected. The identification of every adenovirus isolate to type by neutralization with specific antisera against the first 6 types and by restriction analysis of nonneutralized isolates was started in 1990. Samples from 1988 and 1989 were examined retrospectively. Adenovirus strains were compared to those isolated in a study between 1980‐1983. Enumeration of individual adenovirus types revealed a number of trends, demonstrating that rapid changes in the local incidence of several strains were occurring in Manitoba. The incidence of adenovirus type 40 (Ad40) as a cause of gastroenteritis was found to have fallen dramatically in recent years. The predominant cause of gastroenteritis in Manitoba is a variant strain of Ad41, increasing in predominance each year and now responsible for over a third of the symptomatic cases examined since 1990. The majority of restriction site differences of the Ad41 variant strain from the prototype strain Tak were mapped to the hexon and fiber genes, both of which code for the neutralizable external viral epitopes. The probability of the observed pattern of mutations occuring by chance was calculated as P <0.0005, indicating a strong pressure for selection of these immunologically significant alterations to the viral proteins responsible for cell attachment. Novel strains of adenovirus types causing gastroenteritis can arise rapidly in populations, presumably by immunological selection. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, inc.

We have isolated emetine-resistant cell lines from Chinese hamster peritoneal fibroblasts and have shown that they represent a third distinct class or complementation group of emetine-resistant mutants, as determined by three different criteria. These mutants, like those belonging to the two other complementation groups we have previously defined, which were isolated from Chinese hamster lung and Chinese hamster ovary cells, have alterations that directly affect the protein biosynthetic machinery. So far, there is absolute cell line specificity with respect to the three complementation groups, in that all the emetine-resistant mutants we have isolated from Chinese hamster lung cells belong to one complementation group, all those we have isolated from Chinese hamster ovary cells belong to a second complementation group, and all those isolated from Chinese hamster peritoneal cells belong to a third complementation group. Thus, in cultured Chinese hamster cells, mutations in at least three different loci, designated emtA, emtB, and emtC, encoding for different components of the protein biosynthetic machinery, can give rise to the emetine-resistant phenotype.

82/2 223 stool specimens, collected 1982–1988, from children with enteritis (3.7%) were found to contain adenoviruses; 17 adenovirus-positive samples were provided from other institutes. 89 adenoviruses were isolated in Graham 293 cells from these 99 specimens and were typed by DNA restriction enzyme analysis with Sma I. 37 strains were typed as adenovirus 40 (AD40), and 37 strains as adenovirus 41 (Ad41). Although most strains had the same DNA profiles, a few strains had 3 kinds of different electropherotypes generated by Sma I. Five strains were identified as adenovirus 31. The remaining 10 strains were adenovirus 1 (2 strains), adenovirus 2 (3 strains), adenovirus 3 (1 strain), adenovirus 5 (1 strain), and a non-classified adenovirus (3 strains). Ad40 and Ad41 infections were found throughout the year, but peaked between September and November. 80% of the children with adenovirus infections were > 2 years of age. The highest incidence of diarrhea caused by Ad40 or Ad41 was in 6–11 months old children. 1982–1984, the rate of Ad40 infection was 91.7%, while the rate of Ad41 infection was only 8.3%. The prevalence of Ad40 infection gradually diminished from 1985. During 1987 and 1988 the reverse ratios, 20.6% and 79.4%, respectively, of Ad40 and Ad41 infections were observed. Thereafter, Ad41 infection became predominant.

Monkey kidney cells (CV-C) infected with adenovirus type 2 displayed an aberrant distribution of 100K, 100K-hexon complex, hexon monomers, hexon trimers, penton base, and fiber proteins, relative to the patterns observed in adenovirus type 2-infected human cells. Human cell patterns were observed in CV-C cells when mutants selected for growth on monkey cells were used.
