Early region 3 (E3) of human adenoviruses (Ads) codes for proteins that appear to control viral interactions with the host []. This region called CR1 (conserved region 1) []is found three times in Human adenovirus 19 (a subgroup D adenovirus) 49kDa protein in the E3 region. CR1 is also found in the 20.1 Kd protein of subgroup B adenoviruses. The function of this 80 amino acid region is unknown. This region is probably a divergent immunoglobulin domain.
This entry represents the third of several highly conserved regions on stealth proteins from animals and bacteria. There are up to four CR regions on all member proteins. The domain is found in tandem with CR1, CR2 and CR4 on both potential metazoan hosts and pathogenic eubacterial species that are capsular polysaccharide phosphotransferases. The CR domains appear on eukaryotic proteins such as GNPTAB, N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase subunits alpha/beta. Horizontal gene-transfer seems to have occurred between host and bacteria of these sequence-regions in order for the bacteria to evade detection by the host innate immune system [].
This entry represents a fourth conserved region on stealth proteins from animals and bacteria. There are four CR regions on mammalian members. CR4 carries a well-conserved CLND sequence-motif. The domain is found in tandem with CR1, CR2 and CR3 on both potential metazoan hosts and on pathogenic eubacterial species that are capsular polysaccharide phosphotransferases. The CR domains also appear on eukaryotic proteins such as GNPTAB, N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase subunits alpha/beta. Horizontal gene-transfer seems to have occurred between host and bacteria of these sequence-regions in order for the bacteria to evade detection by the host innate immune system [].
