Protein Domain : Adenoviral fibre protein, repeat/shaft region IPR000939

Type  Repeat
Description  Adenoviruses are responsible for diseases such as pneumonia, cystitis, conjunctivitis and diarrhoea, all of which can be fatal to patients who are immunocompromised []. Viral infection commences with recognition of host cell receptors by means of specialised proteins on viral surfaces. Specific attachment of adenovirus is achieved through interactions between host-cell receptors and the adenovirus fibre protein and is mediated by the globular carboxy-terminal domain of the adenovirus fibre protein, rather than the 'shaft' region represented by this family. The alignment of this family contains two copies of a fifteenresidue repeat found in the 'shaft' region of adenoviral fibre proteins.
