Adenovirus packaging protein 1
InterPro entry
Short name | Adeno_IVa2 |
Description
Packaging protein 1 (also known as IVa2) is a component of the packaging machinery which encapsidates the viral DNA into preformed capsids and transcriptional activator of the viral major late promoter (MLP)
[3]. It binds, along with packaging proteins 2 and 3, to the specific packaging sequence on the left end of viral genomic DNA and displays ATPase activity thereby providing the power stroke of the packaging machinery
[1, 2].
