Protein Domain : Adenovirus penton base protein IPR002605

Type	Family
Description	This family consists of various adenovirus penton base proteins (also known as Protein III) [], from both the mastadenoviridae having mammalian hosts and the aviadenoviridae having avian hosts. The penton base is a major structural protein forming part of the penton which consistsof a base and a fibre, the pentons hold a morphologically prominent position at the vertex capsomer in the adenovirus particle []. In mammalian adenovirus there is only one tail on each base where as in avian adenovirus there are two [].The penton base proteins are also Involved in virus secondary attachment to host cell after initial attachment by the fibre protein [ ].
Short Name	Adeno_Penton_B
