Fig. 3. Alignment of the complete predicted primary amino acid sequences of pX from the four adenovirus genera recognized. The overall alignment is centred on the conserved putative transmembrane domain, shown in blue. Predicted or confirmed protease cleavage sites are indicated by red vertical lines. Sites conform to (M/L/I/V/F)XGG´X and (M/L/I/V/N/Q)X(A/G)X´G, and are slightly less specific at the first residue than those described in the literature [(M/L/I)XGG´X and (M/L/I/N/Q)X(A/G)X´G].
