A Novel Human Membrane Protein Interacting with the Short Fiber of Enteric Adenovirus

Figure 2

General characterization of ParAd41. (a) DNA and protein sequences. The putative transmembrane domains are underlined. The GxxG/S motifs mediating high-affinity helix-helix association in membrane proteins and the FxF motif that mediates recognition by ERK MAP kinase are boxed. Rare codons are in pink. (b) Hydrophobic score of transmembrane domains A, B, and C found in ParAd41. (c) Alignment of primary sequences of unknown proteins, ParAd41 homologs, with Multalin using indicated Genbank accession numbers (AF343342 for ParAd41). Conserved GxxxG motifs are boxed. The color code is the same as that used by the ClustalX server.
