We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

From Proteopedia
Cryo-EM structures of two intermediates provide insight into adenovirus assembly and disassembly
Function
[CAPSH_ADEB3] Major capsid protein that self-associates to form 240 hexon trimers, each in the shape of a hexagon, building most of the pseudo T=25 capsid. Assembled into trimeric units with the help of the chaperone shutoff protein. Transported by pre-protein VI to the nucleus where it associates with other structural proteins to form an empty capsid. Might be involved, through its interaction with host dyneins, in the intracellular microtubule-dependent transport of incoming viral capsid to the nucleus (By similarity).
About this Structure
3zif is a 18 chain structure with sequence from Bovine adenovirus 3. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
