The primary structure of the adenovirus hexon polypeptide has been determined by amino acid sequence studies of peptides from all regions of the molecule combined with sequence analysis of selected areas of its gene. The sequence presented contains 966 unique amino acid residues. Overlapping peptides recovered from CNBr cleavage and from digestions with proteolytic enzymes were analyzed, as well as DNA segments around sites for restriction endonucleases in the hexon gene. The primary structure is in good agreement with the total composition of the protein, with the compositions of individual CNBr fragments, and with known locations of restriction enzyme cleavage sites in the gene. Distinct regions of internal homology do not occur in the structure. The entire hexon polypeptide is encoded by a contiguous DNA sequence without intervening sequences.

D003488 Cyanogen Bromide Cyanogen bromide (CNBr). A compound used in molecular biology to digest some proteins and as a coupling reagent for phosphoroamidate or pyrophosphate internucleotide bonds in DNA duplexes. Bromide, Cyanogen
D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
