Adenovirus type 5 fiber knob binds to MHC class I α2 domain at the surface of human epithelial and B lymphoblastoid cells [PDF]

EMBO Journal, 1997
Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) fiber receptor was investigated using reverse antibody biopanning of a phage-displayed hexapeptide library, and virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs 1D6.3 and 7A2.7) raised against recombinant Ad5 fiber knob. Both mAbs inhibited attachment of Ad5 to HeLa cells. Mimotopes of 1D6.3 showed homology with the C-terminal

Genetic diversity at the C-terminal domain of knob-associated histidine-rich protein (KAHRP) of Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Burundi, Eastern Africa

Annals of Medicine and Surgery, 2018
The knob-associated histidine-rich protein (KAHRP) is an exported parasite protein and the major component of infected erythrocytes by Plasmodium falciparum. P. falciparum histidine-rich protein-1 (PfHRP-1) is docked by KAHRP, which this interaction plays a significant role in cytoadherence of the malaria protozoan to erythrocytes and pathogenicity ...

ALCAM is an entry factor for severe community acquired Pneumonia-associated Human adenovirus species B [PDF]

Nature Communications
Human adenovirus (HAdV) is a widely spread respiratory pathogen that can cause infections in multiple tissues and organs. Previous studies have established an association between HAdV species B (HAdV-B) infection and severe community-acquired pneumonia ...

Design and Identification of a Novel Antiviral Affinity Peptide against Fowl Adenovirus Serotype 4 (FAdV-4) by Targeting Fiber2 Protein

Viruses, 2023
Outbreaks of hydropericardium hepatitis syndrome caused by fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4) with a novel genotype have been reported in China since 2015, with significant economic losses to the poultry industry.

Characterizing the consensus residue specificity and surface of BCL-2 binding to BH3 ligands using the Knob-Socket model

PLoS ONE, 2023
Cancer cells bypass cell death by changing the expression of the BCL-2 family of proteins, which are apoptotic pathway regulators. Upregulation of pro-survival BCL-2 proteins or downregulation of cell death effectors BAX and BAK interferes with the ...

Cattle-derived knob paratopes grafted onto peripheral loops of the IgG1 Fc region enable the generation of a novel symmetric bispecific antibody format

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
In this work we present a novel symmetric bispecific antibody format based on engraftments of cattle-derived knob paratopes onto peripheral loops of the IgG1 Fc region.

A Single Dose of a Hybrid hAdV5-Based Anti-COVID-19 Vaccine Induces a Long-Lasting Immune Response and Broad Coverage against VOC

Vaccines, 2021
Most approved vaccines against COVID-19 have to be administered in a prime/boost regimen. We engineered a novel vaccine based on a chimeric human adenovirus 5 (hAdV5) vector.

Protein crystals in Adenovirus type 5-infected cells: requirements for intranuclear crystallogenesis, structural and functional analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Intranuclear crystalline inclusions have been observed in the nucleus of epithelial cells infected with Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) at late steps of the virus life cycle.

‘Knobs-into-holes’ engineering of antibody C_H3 domains for heavy chain heterodimerization [PDF]

"Protein Engineering, Design and Selection", 1996
'Knobs-into-holes' was originally proposed by Crick in 1952 as a model for the packing of amino acid side chains between adjacent alpha-helices. 'Knobs-into-holes' is demonstrated here as a novel and effective design strategy for engineering antibody heavy chain homodimers for heterodimerization.

Biodistribution of Radioiodinated Adenovirus Fiber Protein Knob Domain after Intravenous Injection in Mice [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2004
ABSTRACT The knob domains from the fiber proteins of adenovirus serotypes 2 and 12 were labeled with radioiodine and then injected into the bloodstreams of mice. Knob proteins with functional binding sites for the coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) were cleared rapidly from the circulation, with radioactivity appearing ...
