Abstract
Plasmid bearing adenovirus genome is generally constructed with the method of homologous recombination in E. coli BJ5183 strain. Here, we utilized Gibson gene assembly technique to generate infectious clone of fowl adenovirus 4 (FAdV-4). Primers flanked with partial inverted terminal repeat (ITR) sequence of FAdV-4 were synthesized to amplify a plasmid backbone containing kanamycin-resistant gene and pBR322 origin (KAN-ORI). DNA assembly was carried out by combining the KAN-ORI fragment, virus genomic DNA and DNA assembly master mix. E. coli competent cells were transformed with the assembled product, and plasmids (pKFAV4) were extracted and confirmed to contain viral genome by restriction analysis and sequencing. Virus was successfully rescued from linear pKFAV4-transfected chicken LMH cells. This approach was further verified in cloning of human adenovirus 5 genome. Our results indicated that DNA assembly technique simplified the construction of infectious clone of adenovirus, suggesting its possible application in virus traditional or reverse genetics.

Abstract
The use of vaccines is an effective and relatively inexpensive means of controlling infectious diseases, which cause heavy economic losses to the livestock industry through animal loss, decreased productivity, treatment expenses and decreased carcass quality. However, some vaccines produced by conventional means are imperfect in many respects including virulence, safety and efficacy. Moreover, there are no vaccines for some animal diseases. Although genetic engineering has provided new ways of producing effective vaccines, the cost of production for veterinary use is a critical criterion for selecting the method of production and delivery of vaccines. The cost effective production and intrinsic ability to enter cells has made adenovirus vectors a highly efficient tool for delivery of vaccine antigens. Moreover, adenoviruses induce both humoral and cellular immune responses to expressed vaccine antigens. Since nonhuman adenoviruses are species specific, the development of animal specific adenoviruses as vaccine delivery vectors is being evaluated. This review summarizes the work related to the development of bovine adenovirus-3 as a vaccine delivery vehicle in animals, particularly cattle.

Abstract
During the development of human adenovirus 35-derived replication-incompetent (rAd35) vaccine vectors for prevention of infectious diseases, we detected mutations in the terminal 8 nt of the inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) of rAd35. The switch from the plasmid-encoded sequence 5'-CATCATCA-3' to the alternative sequence 5'-CTATCTAT-3' in the ITRs was found to be a general in vitro propagation phenomenon, as shown for several vectors carrying different transgenes or being derived from different adenovirus serotypes. In each tested case, the plasmid-encoded ITR sequence changed to exactly the same alternative ITR sequence, 5'-CTATCTAT-3'. The outgrowth of this alternative ITR version should result from a growth advantage conferred by the alternative ITR sequence. Indeed, replication kinetics studies of rAd35 harbouring either the original or alternative ITR sequence confirmed an increase in replication speed for rAd35 vectors with the alternative ITR sequence. These findings can be applied to generate recombinant adenoviral vectors harbouring the alternative ITR sequence, which will facilitate the generation of genetically homogeneous seed virus batches. Moreover, vector production may be accelerated by taking advantage of the observed improved replication kinetics associated with the alternative ITR sequence.

Abstract
Members of the family Adenoviridae have been isolated from a large variety of hosts, including representatives from every major vertebrate class from fish to mammals. The high prevalence, together with the fairly conserved organization of the central part of their genomes, make the adenoviruses one of (if not the) best models for studying viral evolution on a larger time scale. Phylogenetic calculation can infer the evolutionary distance among adenovirus strains on serotype, species, and genus levels, thus helping the establishment of a correct taxonomy on the one hand, and speeding up the process of typing new isolates on the other. Initially, four major lineages corresponding to four genera were recognized. Later, the demarcation criteria of lower taxon levels, such as species or types, could also be defined with phylogenetic calculations. A limited number of possible host switches have been hypothesized and convincingly supported. Application of the web-based BLAST and MultAlin programs and the freely available PHYLIP package, along with the TreeView program, enables everyone to make correct calculations. In addition to step-by-step instruction on how to perform phylogenetic analysis, critical points where typical mistakes or misinterpretation of the results might occur will be identified and hints for their avoidance will be provided.

Abstract
New advances in the field of genetic characterization of adenoviruses originating from different animal species are summarized. Variations seen in the host range and specificity, pathogenicity, genomic arrangement or gene complement are much wider than expected based on previous studies of human adenoviruses. Several exceptional adenoviruses from the two traditional conventional genera are now removed, and proposed to form at least two new genera. The eventual host origin of the new genera, however, is not clarified. Novel results from the genomic and phylogenetic analyses of adenoviruses originating from lower vertebrate species (including reptiles, amphibians and fish) seem to imply that probably five major clusters of adenoviruses exist corresponding to the five major classes of Vertebrata. Adenoviruses, which are now suspected to have common origin with enterobacterium phages from the family Tectiviridae, are perhaps very ancient indeed, and may have undergone a co-evolution with vertebrate hosts.

Abstract
The genome of bovine adenovirus type 3 (BAV3) is flanked by 195-base pair (bp) inverted terminal repeats (ITR). We isolated a BAV3 mutant (BAV3c29) having an internal deletion within the left ITR. The deletion eliminated 72 bp between nucleotides (nt) 89 and 162, including most of the GC-rich sequences located close to the end of the ITR sequences. This deletion did not seem to have any affect on the virus plaque size or morphology and the kinetics of viral replication compared to wild-type (wt) BAV3. The nt sequence of the right ITR of BAV3c29 remained identical to the right or left ITR of wt BAV3. These results indicate that the cis-acting sequences present within the 72 bp between nt 89 and 162 of the left ITR are not essential for BAV3 DNA replication in cultured cells.

Abstract
The inverted terminal repeat (ITR) of the genome of four bovine adenovirus (BAdV) types have been sequenced, analysed and compared to the ITRs of other adenoviruses. The length of ITRs of the examined BAdVs ranged between 59 and 368 base pairs, thus the presently known longest adenovirus ITR sequence is from BAdV-10. The conserved motifs and characteristic sequence elements of the ITRs providing different binding sites for replicative proteins of viral and cellular origin seemed to be distributed according to the proposed genus classification of BAdVs. The ITRs of BAdV-10 share similarity with the members of the genus Mastadenovirus, while the ITRs of the other three sequenced serotypes (BAdV-4, 5 and strain Rus) which are candidate members of the genus Atadenovirus are very short and contain NFI and Sp1 binding sites only. The analysis of the new ITRs implied that the nucleotide sequence of the so-called core origin is highly preserved within the mastadenovirus genus only.

Abstract
The porcine adenovirus type 3 (PAd3) genome between map units 0 and 13.7 was sequenced and compared with similar regions of other adenoviruses. This region consists of the left inverted terminal repeat sequences involved in DNA packaging, the entire early region 1 (E1) and the protein IX (pIX) transcription unit. The lower strand contains the C-terminal end of IVa2 of the E2A transcriptional unit and two novel open reading frames (ORFs). The E1 transcription unit consists of ORFs for proteins homologous to the E1A, E1B-17k and E1B-55k of both human adenovirus type 5 (HAd5) and bovine adenovirus type 3 (BAd3). The predicted PAd3 pIX demonstrated homology with the N-terminal portion of the pIXs of HAd5 and BAd3. On the lower strand, immediately after the putative IVa2 ORF, there are two unique ORFs of 208 and 203 amino acid residues that showed homology with Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigens and other cellular transcription factors.

Abstract
Replication of adenovirus (Ad) DNA depends on interactions between three viral and three cellular proteins. Human transcription factors NFI and Oct-1 recruit the Ad DNA polymerase to the origin of DNA replication as a complex with the Ad protein primer pTP. High affinity and specificity DNA binding to recognition sites in this origin by the transcription factors stimulate and stabilize pre-initiation complex formation to compensate for the low binding specificity of the pTP/pol complex. In this review, we discuss the properties of NFI and Oct-1 and the mechanism by which they enhance initiation of DNA replication. We propose a model that describes the dynamics of initiation and elongation as well as the assembly and disassembly of the pre-initiation complex.

Abstract
We have identified and sequenced 3614 nucleotides located at the extreme right-end of the bovine adenovirus type 3 (BAV3) genome from map units 89.5-100. Analysis of the sequence revealed an inverted terminal repeat (ITR) of 195 bp, and identified five open reading frames (ORFs) designated ORF1, ORF2, ORF3, ORF4 and ORF5. When compared with known E4 ORFs of other adenoviruses, ORFs 1, 2 and 4, which code for proteins of 143, 69 and 143 amino acids respectively, were found to be unique to BAV3. ORFs 3 and 5, which code for proteins of 268 and 219 amino acids respectively, showed partial homology to the E4 34 kDa protein of human adenovirus 2. Nucleotide sequence analysis also identified two potential TATA boxes upstream of ORF1 and a potential polyadenylation signal downstream of ORF5 suggesting that E4 transcripts may be 3' co-terminal.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic enteritis virus (HEV) belongs to the Adenoviridae family, a subgroup of adenoviruses (Ads) that infect avian species. In this article, the complete DNA sequence and the genome organization of the virus are described. The full-length of the genome was found to be 26,263 bp, shorter than the DNA of any other Ad described so far. The G + C content of the genome is 34.93%. There are short terminal repeats (39 bp), as described for other Ads. Genes were identified by comparison of the DNA and predicted amino acid sequences with published sequences of other Ads. The organization of the genome in respect to late genes (52K, IIIa, penton base, core protein, hexon, endopeptidase, 100K, pVIII, and fiber), early region 2 genes (polymerase, terminal protein, and DNA binding protein), and intermediate gene IVa2 was found to be similar to that of other human and avian Ad genomes. No sequences similar to E1 and E4 regions were found. Very low similarity to ovine E3 region was found. Open reading frames were identified with no similarity to any published Ad sequence.

Abstract
The complete DNA sequence of bovine adenovirus type 3 is reported here. The size of the genome is 34,446 bp in length with a G+C content of 54%. All the genes of the early and late regions are present in the expected locations of the genome. However, the late-region genes are organized into seven families, instead of five as they are in human adenovirus type 2. The deduced amino acid sequences of open reading frames (ORFs) in the late regions and early region 2 (E2) and for IVa2 show higher degrees of homology, whereas the predicted amino acid sequences of ORFs in the E1, E3, and E4 regions and the pIX, fiber, and 33,000-molecular-weight nonstructural proteins show little or no homology with the corresponding proteins of other adenoviruses. In addition, the penton base protein lacks the integrin binding motif, RGD, but has an LDV motif instead of an MDV motif. Interestingly, as in other animal adenoviruses, the virus-associated RNA genes appear to be absent from their usual location. Sequence analysis of cDNA clones representing the early- and late-region genes identified splice acceptor and splice donor sites, polyadenylation signals and polyadenylation sites, and tripartite leader sequences.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of an avian adenovirus, the egg drop syndrome (EDS) virus, was determined. The total genome length is 33,213 nucleotides, resulting in a molecular weight of 21.9 x 10(6). The GC content is only 42.5%. Between map units 3.5 and 76.9, the distribution of open reading frames with homology to known genes is similar to that reported for other mammalian and avian adenoviruses. However, no homologies to adenovirus genes such as E1A, pIX, pV, and E3 could be found. Outside this region, several open reading frames were identified without any obvious homology to known adenovirus proteins. In the region organized similarly as other adenoviral genomes, most homologies were found to an ovine adenovirus (OAV strain 287). The highest level of amino acid identity was found for the hexon proteins of EDS and OAV. The virus-associated RNA (VA RNA) was identified thanks to the homology with the VA RNA of fowl adenovirus serotype 1 (FAV1). Similarities with FAV1 were also found in the fiber protein. Our results demonstrate that the avian EDS virus represents an intermediate between mammalian and avian adenoviruses. The nucleotide sequence and genomic organization of the EDS virus reflect the heterogeneity of the aviadenovirus genus and the Adenoviridae family.

Abstract
Initiation of adenovirus DNA replication occurs by a jumping back mechanism in which the precursor terminal priming protein (pTP) forms a pTP.trinucleotide complex (pTP.CAT) catalyzed by the viral DNA polymerase (pol). This covalent complex subsequently jumps back 3 bases to permit the start of chain elongation. Before initiation, pTP and pol form a tight heterodimer. We investigated the fate of this pTP.pol complex during the various steps in replication. Employing in vitro initiation and elongation on both natural viral templates and synthetic oligonucleotides followed by glycerol gradient separation of the reaction products, we established that pTP and pol are separated during elongation. Whereas pTP.C and pTP. CA were still bound to the polymerase, after the formation of pTP. CAT 60% of the pTP.pol complex had dissociated. Dissociation coincides with a change in sensitivity to inhibitors and in Km for dNTPs, suggesting a conformational change in the polymerase, both in the active site and in the pTP interaction domain. In agreement with this, the polymerase becomes a more efficient enzyme after release of the pTP primer. We also investigated whether the synthesis of a pTP initiation intermediate is confined to three nucleotides. Employing synthetic oligonucleotide templates with a sequence repeat of two nucleotides (GAGAGAGA ... instead of the natural GTAGTA ... ) we show that G5 rather than G3 is used to start, leading to a pTP. tetranucleotide (CTCT) intermediate that subsequently jumps back. This indicates flexibility in the use of the start site with a preference for the synthesis of three or four nucleotides during initiation rather than two.

Abstract
The bovine adenovirus type 3 (BAV3) genome was sequenced from the left end to the HindIII site at 11%. This region comprises the entire E1 transcription unit including the open reading frames (ORF) for proteins homologous to the E1A, E1B proteins and protein IX of human adenovirus type 5 (Ad5). A portion of the BAV3 E1A protein showed significant homology with conserved region 3 (CR3), the principal transactivation region of Ad5 E1A. The BAV3 E1A protein also contains a consensus sequence known to be important for interaction with the cellular Rb protein but lacks most of the sequence corresponding to the second exon of Ad5 E1A. Promoter sequences for BAV3 E1B were not defined though the relevant region contains a 35-base pair repeat sequence. Two ORFs define the BAV3 E1B coding unit; one with regions homologous to sequences within the Ad5 E1B 19k protein, and an overlapping ORF with significant homology to the Ad5 E1B 55k protein. The encoded BAV3 E1B proteins of 157 and 420 amino acid residues (R) have predicted unmodified molecular weights of 17,393 and 46,734 respectively. Immediately following the E1B coding region there is a transcription unit containing an SP1 binding site and TATA box followed by an ORF which encodes a protein of 125R and predicted molecular weight of 13,706 with homology to protein IX of Ad5. Five concensus poly A addition sites are located in the 350 base pairs immediately following the protein IX coding region. The homology of sequences in the Ad5 E1A CR3 region and the corresponding BAV3 protein suggested that the BAV3 protein could transactivate certain Ad5 genes normally transactivated by the Ad5 E1A product. Evidence for this hypothesis was obtained in studies in which bovine cells in culture were coinfected with BAV3 and a human adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) recombinant viral vector lacking the E1A region and having a lacZ reporter gene within the E3 region dependent on E1A for its expression. Coinfection resulted in the induction of beta-galactosidase activity and the increased expression of other Ad5 early (E2A 72k) and late (hexon) proteins.

Abstract
pMC3-2, one of two linear plasmids localised in the mitochondria of the ascomycete Morchella conica, was completely sequenced. It is 6044 bp in size, contains terminal inverted repeats of 713 and 710 bp length and two open reading frames, ORF1 and ORF2, spanning 2706 bp and 918 bp, respectively. ORF1 probably encodes a viral B-type DNA-polymerase. Concerning ORF2, no homology to any other published protein- or DNA-sequence could be detected. According to the structure of DNA-polymerases, linear plasmids can be grouped into two classes reflecting their localisation either in the cytoplasm or within the mitochondria. In general, the structure of plasmid pMC3-2, as well as of other linear plasmids from filamentous fungi, indicates a close relationship of these genetic elements to adenoviruses.

Abstract
The genome of canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1) has been cloned and restriction maps compiled. These maps are compared with those of canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2). The left ends of both genomes were further characterised by DNA sequence analysis. Several features of the DNA sequence and predicted polypeptide sequence are similar to those of the human adenoviruses. The level of homology observed across the E1 regions appears to be of the same order as the overall DNA similarity between CAV-1 and CAV-2 (75%). Transfection experiments using the presumptive E1a containing region of CAV-2 suggests that it encodes a transactivating function typical of the human adenovirus E1a genes.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of the leftmost EcoRI-C fragment (0 to 11.3%) of canine adenovirus type 2 (CAd2) which could transform rodent cells morphologically but required additional sequences from 10 to 32 map units (m.u.) for full expression of its oncogenic potential was determined. The EcoRI-C fragment contains 3609 nucleotide base pairs (bp) encoding E1A, E1B, and pIX genes. Although the nucleotide sequence of CAd2 E1 shows little homology to those of human Ads, the amino acid sequences of the E1 proteins predicted from nucleotide sequence of CAd2 E1 and those for human and simian Ads are partially conserved.

Abstract
Eight monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against bovine adenovirus (BAV) 2 subtype B hexon were studied with 12 different hexon types of human adenoviruses (AV) belonging to 5 different subgenera using indirect ELISA, passive hemagglutination (HA), and gel diffusion assays. Two hexon types of animal origin (BAV3 and SAV16) were investigated, too. The reactivity of the MAb IV.F3 was the broadest, i.e. in ELISA and HA experiments it reacted with all hexon types studied. Based on these results as well as on the results of gel diffusion assays, this MAb should recognize the genus specific epitope of adenovirus hexons. Three MAbs (CA12, III.B11, and A12) could recognize different epitopes showing intersubgenus or intertype specificities. In spite of the fact, that all the eight MAbs proved to be bound by the hexon of ORT/111 (BAV2 subtype B) blotted onto nitrocellulose filter, four of the eight MAbs (BB7, BH5, II.A9, and IV.F5) failed to react with any human, and animal hexon types used in the present experiments. The results suggest that a gradient of antigenic relationship may exist between BAV2 hexon and the hexons of human serotypes.
