Abstract
Adenoviruses are a group of double-stranded DNA viruses that can mainly cause respiratory, gastrointestinal, and eye infections in humans. In addition, adenoviruses are employed as vector vaccines for combatting viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2, and serve as excellent gene therapy vectors. These viruses have the ability to modulate the host cell machinery to their advantage and trigger significant restructuring of the nuclei of infected cells through the activity of viral proteins. One of those, the adenovirus DNA-binding protein (DBP), is a multifunctional non-structural protein that is integral to the reorganization processes. DBP is encoded in the E2A transcriptional unit and is highly abundant in infected cells. Its activity is unequivocally linked to the formation, structure, and integrity of virus-induced replication compartments, molecular hubs for the regulation of viral processes, and control of the infected cell. DBP also plays key roles in viral DNA replication, transcription, viral gene expression, and even host range specificity. Notably, post-translational modifications of DBP, such as SUMOylation and extensive phosphorylation, regulate its biological functions. DBP was first investigated in the 1970s, pioneering research on viral DNA-binding proteins. In this literature review, we provide an overview of DBP and specifically summarize key findings related to its complex structure, diverse functions, and significant role in the context of viral replication. Finally, we address novel insights and perspectives for future research.

Abstract
The proteome and phosphoproteome of non-structural proteins of Adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) were time resolved using a developed mass spectrometry approach. These proteins are expressed by the viral genome and important for the infection process, but not part of the virus particle. We unambiguously confirm the existence of 95% of the viral proteins predicted to be encoded by the viral genome. Most non-structural proteins peaked in expression at late time post infection. We identified 27 non-redundant sites of phosphorylation on seven different non-structural proteins. The most heavily phosphorylated protein was the DNA binding protein (DBP) with 15 different sites. The phosphorylation occupancy rate could be calculated and monitored with time post infection for 15 phosphorylated sites on various proteins. In the DBP, phosphorylations with time-dependent relation were observed. The findings show the complexity of the Ad2 non-structural proteins and opens up a discussion for potential new drug targets.

Abstract
The E3-14.5K and E3-10.4K proteins form a complex and function to down-regulate the epidermal growth factor receptor and to prevent tumor necrosis factor cytolysis in adenovirus-infected cells. Both 14.5K and 10.4K are cytoplasmic membrane proteins with a Ccyt orientation in the membrane. We show here that 14.5K is phosphorylated on serine residues in cells infected by adenoviruses that synthesize both 14.5K and 10.4K. 14.5K is phosphorylated on both serine and threonine in cells infected by a mutant that does not synthesize 10.4K; thus, the presence or absence of 10.4K affects the phosphorylation of 14.5K. Phosphotyrosine was not detected. 14.5K is also phosphorylated when translated in vitro in a rabbit reticulocyte extract. Both in vivo and in vitro, at least one of the phosphorylation sites is near the C-terminus, in the cytoplasmic domain of 14.5K. This C-terminal region of 14.5K is the most conserved among Ad5, Ad2, Ad3, and Ad7, and it is essential for 14.5K to prevent tumor necrosis factor cytolysis.

Abstract
To determine whether the viral replication functions of the adenovirus E1B 55K protein play a role in its ability to transform cloned rat embryo fibroblast cells in culture, we constructed an extensive series of insertion mutations throughout the 55K gene. The mutations were recombined into infectious virus and characterized for their abilities to produce stable 55K protein in HeLa cells, replicate virus in HeLa cells, express late viral proteins efficiently, and transform CREF cells following infection. Mutant 55K transforming activity in primary baby rat kidney cells was also assayed following DNA transfection. The functions required for viral replication are encoded in several patches of the 55K linear sequence, while the CREF transforming functions are sensitive to all of the insertions. An insertion at amino acid 380 created a mutant virus which was reduced in transforming activity, but was not reduced for viral replication. Therefore, a function required for efficient transformation of CREF cells can be separated from functions required for late gene expression and viral replication. Transformation of BRK cells following DNA transfection was reduced by complete disruption of the 55K protein gene, but was not significantly affected by any of the insertions.

Abstract
Early region E3 of adenovirus type 5 should encode at least nine proteins as judged by the DNA sequence and the spliced structures of the known mRNAs. Only two E3 proteins have been proved to exist, a glycoprotein (gp19K) and an 11,600-molecular-weight protein (11.6K protein). Here we describe an abundant 14.7K protein coded by a gene in the extreme 3' portion of E3. To identify this 14.7K protein, we constructed a bacterial vector which synthesized a TrpE-14.7K fusion protein, then we prepared antiserum against the fusion protein. This antiserum immunoprecipitated the 14.7K protein from cells infected with adenovirus types 5 and 2, as well as with a variety of E3 deletion mutants. Synthesis of the 14.7K protein correlated precisely with the presence or absence of the 14.7K gene and with the synthesis of the mRNA (mRNA h) which encodes the 14.7K protein. The 14.7K protein appeared as a triplet on immunoprecipitation gels and Western blots (immunoblots).

Abstract
An adenovirus mutant, Ad2ts111, has previously been shown to be temperature sensitive for viral DNA replication in vivo and also to induce degradation of cellular DNA. Soluble nuclear extracts prepared from Ad2ts111-infected HeLa cells grown at either the permissive (32 degrees C) or the nonpermissive (39.5 degrees C) temperature are thermolabile for elongation but not for initiation of DNA replication in vitro. Adenovirus single-stranded-DNA-binding protein purified from wild-type-infected cells can complement these extracts at the restrictive temperature in vitro. The DNA-binding protein synthesized in Ad2ts111-infected cells is stable at the nonpermissive temperature and is phosphorylated, as is the wild-type protein. In contrast, the mutant DNA-binding protein synthesized in Ad5ts125-infected cells is unstable. Ad2ts111 and Ad5ts125 do not complement each other for virus growth in vivo. These results suggest that Ad2ts111 contains a mutation in the DNA-binding protein that affects viral DNA synthesis. Finally, we demonstrated that, unlike viral DNA synthesis, the induction of cellular DNA degradation in Ad2ts111-infected cells is not temperature sensitive and that this phenotype is a result of a mutation in early region 1 on the virus genome. Thus, the two phenotypes displayed in Ad2ts111-infected cells, namely, the temperature-sensitive replication of viral DNA and the degradation of cell DNA, are the result of two separate mutations.

Abstract
Proteins encoded by adenovirus type 2 and type 5 early region 2A isolated from infected HeLa cells were compared to translation products of E2A-specific messenger RNA in a reticulocyte cell-free system and in Xenopus oocytes. The main cell-free translation product is a 72,000 Mr polypeptide which in HeLa cells as well as in Xenopus oocytes is converted into a 75,000 Mr phosphoprotein capable of binding to single-stranded DNA. Some minor proteins are proteolytic cleavage products of the major protein. In the cell-free system, three E2A polypeptides, 32,000, 37,000 and 44,000 Mr, are translated from minor polyadenylated mRNA species that can be separated from the major mRNA. Synthesis of all E2A polypeptides in vitro is inhibited by cap-analogs. The 44,000 Mr protein is also synthesized in Xenopus oocytes. Tryptic peptide maps of [35S]methionine-labeled E2A proteins were constructed using high pressure liquid chromatography and the position of the methionyl residues within each peptide was determined by amino acid sequencing procedures. This information and the DNA sequence of the adenovirus 5 E2A gene published by Kruijer et al. (1981) were used to align the peptides and to construct a map of the E2A proteins. Our data demonstrate that the major 75,000 Mr protein is coded for by a leftward reading frame of 529 amino acid residues located between 62 and 66 map units. The data also map six sites as targets for proteolytic enzymes. The minor E2A translation products have the same carboxy terminus as the major protein. The initiation codons of the 44,000, 37,000 and 32,000 Mr polypeptides probably correspond to amino acids 170, 243 or 244 and 290 of the major protein. Some functional properties of the major E2A protein are shared by the minor proteins and thus could be mapped. Major sites of phosphorylation, the region involved in binding to single-stranded DNA and the antigenic regions recognized by immune sera are located between amino acid residues 50 to 120, 170 to 470 and 170 to 240, respectively.

Abstract
Protein kinase activities copurifying with the 72000-Mr DNA-binding protein of adenovirus on DNA-cellulose chromatography and gel filtration in acrylamide/agarose have been partially characterized and purified. One of these kinases was found to phosphorylate efficiently the viral DNA-binding protein in vitro and to be stimulated severalfold by the addition of histones, protamine, or polyamines. The kinase does not, however, phosphorylate histones, protamine, casein, or phosvitin. A second protein kinase was also recovered from single-stranded DNA-cellulose which is able to phosphorylate the 72000-Mr DNA-binding protein, but which is inhibited by the addition of histones. Phosphorylation in vitro of the 72000-Mr DNA-binding protein from the ts125 mutants of adenovirus by the histone-stimulated protein kinase was found to be thermosensitive.

Abstract
Adenovirus DNA replication is inhibited by aphidicolin but the inhibition clearly has different parameters than the inhibition of purified DNA polymerase alpha. In adenovirus infected Hela cells, 10 micrograms/ml of aphidicolin reduced viral DNA synthesis by 80%. Cellular DNA synthesis was inhibited by 97% at 0.1 microgram/ml. 10 micrograms/ml of drug had no effect on virus yield or late protein synthesis though higher concentrations of drug (50 micrograms/ml) caused an abrupt cessation of late protein synthesis and 100 micrograms/ml reduced virus yield by 3 logs. Concentrations of the drug from 0.5 microgram/ml to 10 micrograms/ml were found to dramatically slow the rate of DNA chain elongation in vitro but not stop it completely, so that over a long period of time net incorporation was reduced only slightly compared to the control. 50 micrograms/ml or 100 micrograms/ml of drug completely inhibited incorporation in vitro. Initiation of viral DNA replication - covalent attachment of dCMP to the preterminal protein - occurs in vitro. This reaction was found to be insensitive to inhibition by aphidicolin. We thus conclude that aphidicolin exerts its effect on adenovirus DNA chain elongation, but not on the primary initiation event of protein priming.

Abstract
The position of phosphothreonine in the predicted primary structure of simian virus 40 large T antigen was determined by different methods. After digestion of large T antigen with trypsin and subsequent two-dimensional peptide mapping, a single peptide containing phosphothreonine could be separated from the bulk of phosphoserine-containing peptides. Its amino acid composition was determined by differential labeling with various amino acids in vivo. The high yield of proline (4.5 mol) within the phosphothreonine peptide indicated that it was derived from the carboxy terminus of large T antigen and had in its unphosphorylated form the sequence Lys-Pro-Pro-Thr-Pro-Pro-Pro-Glu-Pro-Glu-Thr-COOH. A phosphopeptide generated by chymotrypsin could be converted into the tryptic phosphothreonine peptide, indicating that the latter was part of the chymotryptic peptide. The origin of the phosphothreonine-containing peptides was independently confirmed by using an antiserum directed against the carboxy terminus of large T antigen. This serum reacted specifically with the proline-rich, phosphothreonine-containing peptides. Further analysis by partial acid hydrolysis indicated that the internal threonine was phosphorylated. The unusual amino acid composition on both sides of the phosphothreonine and the possible function of this phosphorylation site are discussed.

Abstract
The adenovirus-specific DNA-binding protein was isolated from adenovirus type 5-infected KB cells and shown to possess DNase inhibitor activity. The protein decreased the rate of hydrolysis of single-strand DNA proportionately to its concentration in the reaction. Two peaks of activity were obtained upon sedimentation in a glycerol gradient, probably corresponding to the two major adenovirus-specific polypeptides in the preparation (molecular weights, 72,000 and 44,000). The DNase inhibitor activity of the adenovirus DNA-binding protein was distinguishable from that of the cellular DNA-binding protein, which we have described previously (K, Nass and G. D. Frenkel, J. Biol. Chem. 254:3407-3410, 1979), by its pattern of sedimentation and by the effect of temperature on the two activities. For the adenovirus DNA-binding protein, the ratio of DNase inhibitor activity at 43 degrees C to that at 30 degrees C was approximately 14, whereas for the cellular protein this ratio was less than 3. The DNase inhibitor activity with the temperature coefficient of 14 was absent from cells infected with adenovirus type 5 ts125 at 40 degrees C. DNase inhibition is a simple, sensitive, quantitative method for assay of the adenovirus DNA-binding protein.

Abstract
Vesicular stomatitis virus contains a phosphorylated NS protein which is necessary along with L protein and RNP template for transcription of mRNA. To further define the structure of the NS protein and its function in transcription and replication, virion NS was purified and separated into two different phosphrylated forms (NSI and NSII) on DEAE-cellulose columns. Cytoplasmic preparations of NS contained one phosphorylated species which eluted from the column in the same place as the virion NSI. When electrophoresed in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels containing urea, NSI and NSII each resolved into two components, whereas cell NS migrated as a single band. NSI and cell NS exhibited little activity in a reconstituted transcription assay, whereas the more highly phosphorylated NSII was very active in the same system. Addition of NSI or cell NS to a transcription system containing NSII resulted in even higher levels of activity, indicating that the various NS species might have different enzymatic functions.

Abstract
The adenovirus type 2 DNA-binding protein is phosphorylated. Alkaline phosphatase treatment removes phosphate groups resulting in a decrease in molecular weight from 72000 to 70000. The dephosphorylated protein binds to single-stranded and double-stranded DNA as well as the phosphorylated protein does. Controlled chymotrypsin treatment cleaves the DNA-binding protein into two subspecies of Mr about 45000 and 25000. The 45000-Mr polypeptide contains most of the methionine residues but no phosphate and binds to DNA. The 25000-Mr polypeptide contains all the phosphate groups and shows no binding to DNA. Isoelectric focusing gels show heterogeneity of the DNA-binding protein and 15 subspecies with different charges can be observed after partial dephosphorylation by alkaline phosphatase. After extensive dephosphorylation two or three basic species with a molecular weight around 70000 are observed. Quantitative immunoprecipitation from cells labeled to equilibrium with inorganic 32PO4 gives a molar ratio of phosphate to protein of 4--7 and direct chemical determination of the phosphate residues yields 4 mol Pi/mol protein. These results suggest that there exist subspecies of the protein moiety of the adenovirus DNA-binding protein. The DNA-binding protein isolated from infected cells after a short 'pulse' of [35S]methionine has a molecular weight which corresponds to that of the dephosphorylated protein. After a 'chase' period the molecular weight increases to 72000, but alkaline phosphatase treatment converts it to a species with the same molecular weight as the newly synthesized DNA-binding protein, indicating that the modification of the protein is due to phosphorylation.

Abstract
We have identified adenovirus type 2 (Ad2)-induced early polypeptides (EPs) and have attempted to determine which EPs are coded by each of the four early gene blocks. [35S]methionine-labeled EPs were resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Cycloheximide pretreatment followed by labeling in hypertonic medium (210 to 250 mM NaCl) facilitated the detection of EPs. Seven major (reproducible bands in autoradiograms) EPs were detected with molecular weights of 74,000 (74K), 21K, 19K, 15K, 13.5K, 11.5K, and 11K. Minor (weaker bands) EPs of 55K, 52K, 42K, 18K, 12K, 8.8K, and 8.3K were also often seen. To identify and map the genes for virus-coded EPs, we prepared antisera against five lines of adenovirus-transformed cells that retain different fractions of the viral genome. The lines were F17, 8617, F4, and T2C4 transformed by Ad2 virions and 5RK (clone I) transformed by transfection with the Ad5 HsuI-G fragment (map position 0 to 8). The early gene blocks retained and expressed (in part) as RNA in these cells were as follows: 5RK(I), block 1 (70% of left 8% of genome); F17, block 1; 8617, blocks 1 and 4; F4 blocks 1, 2, and 4; T2C4, blocks 1, 2, 3, and 4. The following major EPs were immunoprecipitated: 15K by all antisera; 53K and 14.5K by F17, T2C4, 8617, and F4 antisera; 11.5K by T2C4, 8617, and F4 antisera; 44K, 42K, 19K, and 13.5K by T2C4 antisera; 11K by 8617 antisera. Minor EPs of 28K, 18K, and 12K were precipitated by all antisera except 5RK(I). The 53K and 15K EPs were precipitated also from Ad2 early infected monkey cells by the F17 antiserum and by sera from hamsters bearing tumors induced by Ad1-simian virus 40. The relationships between some of the immunoprecipitated EPs were investigated by the partial proteolysis procedure. All 53K EPs are the "same" (i.e., highly related), all 15K EPs are the "same," and all 11.5K EPs are the "same." The 15K EP is highly related to the 14.5 K EP. Although less certain, all 28K EPs appeared related, as did all 18K EPs. The T2C4-specific 44K EP is probably a dimer of the 21K glycopolypeptide. The T2C4-specific 13.5K EP and the 8617-specific 11K EP appear unrelated to any other polypeptides. These immunoprecipitation data provide evidence that early gene block I (map position 1 to 11) may encode major 53K, 15K, and 14.5K polypeptides, and minor 28K, 18K, and 12K polypeptides, and that all or some of the gene for 15K and 14.5K lies within map position 1 to 8. The surprisingly complex pattern of polypeptides coded by early gene block I raises the possibility that some polypeptides may be coded by overlapping "spliced" mRNA's. The possible block locations of the genes for the 21K, 13.5K, and 11.5K polypeptides are discussed.

Abstract
One adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) early protein, with an apparent molecular weight of 14,000 in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels (E14K), was purified to homogeneity. Purification involved fractionation of cytoplasmic extracts, precipitation at low pH, and DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose, and hydroxylapatite chromatography. The yield was around 12 microgram of purified protein per 10(9) HeLa cells. The two Ad2 DNA binding proteins with molecular weights of 75,000 and 45,000 (E75K and E45K) were purified by the same procedure. Tryptic peptide analyses indicated that the E14K protein is unrelated to the DNA binding proteins. The purified E14K protein has a high content of basic amino acids and a sedimentation coefficient of 5.5S in the native state, corresponding to a molecular weight of around 95,000. Pulse-chase experiments suggest that the E14K polypeptide is a primary translation product. Immunoprecipitation with a monospecific antiserum against the E14K protein revealed that it is exclusively localized in the cytoplasm of infected cells. E14K started to be synthesized at 2 hpostinfection, with a maximal rate of synthesis at 4 to 6 h postinfection. Immunoprecipitation of cell extracts from four different Ad2-transformed hamster embryo cell lines revealed that only one (Ad2HE4) of them expresses this protein. The adenovirus-simian virus 40 hybrid virus (Ad2ND1) does not express this protein, suggesting that the gene for the E14K protein is located in the part of the Ad2 genome which is deleted in this hybrid virus.

Abstract
We have identified an adenovirus type 2 (Ad2)-induced early glycopolypeptide with an apparent molecular weight of 20,000 to 21,000 (20/21K), as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The 20/21K polypeptide could be labeled in vivo with [(3)H]glucosamine. [(35)S]methionine- and [(3)H]-glucosamine-labeled 20/21K polypeptides bound to concanavalin A-Sepharose columns and were eluted with 0.2 M methyl-alpha-d-mannoside. The pulse-labeled polypeptide appeared as a sharp band with an apparent molecular weight of 21K, but after a chase it converted to multiple bands with an average molecular weight of 20K. This variability in electrophoretic mobility is consistent with glycosylation or deglycosylation of the 20/21K polypeptide. Analysis of the pulse and pulse-chase-labeled forms by using partial proteolysis indicated that the polypeptides were highly related chemically, but not identical. Most of the 20/21K polypeptide is localized in the cytoplasm fraction of infected cells lysed by Nonidet P-40. The 20/21K polypeptide and a 44K polypeptide, labeled with [(35)S]methionine or [(3)H]glucosamine in Ad2-infected human cells, were precipitated by a rat antiserum against an Ad2-transformed rat cell line (T2C4), but not by antisera against three other Ad2-transformed rat cell lines, or by serum from nonimmune rats. The partial proteolysis patterns of the 20/21K and the 44K polypeptides were indistinguishable, indicating that the two polypeptides are highly related, and suggesting that the 44K polypeptide might be a dimer of the 20/21K polypeptide. The 20/21K polypeptide was also induced in Ad2-early infected monkey and hamster cells. These results imply that the 20/21K polypeptide is synthesized in Ad2-infected human, monkey, and hamster cells, and in one but not all Ad2-transformed rat cells. Thus, the 20/21K polypeptide is probably viral coded rather than cell coded and viral induced.

Abstract
The proteins of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) were analyzed on the basis of charge as well as size in polyacrylamide gels containing urea and acetic acid. The phosphorprotein NS was resolved into two major species. The less phosphorylated NS1 species contained about 10% fewer phosphate residues than the second species, NS2. These two phosphorylated forms were compartmentalized both in the virus and in the infected cell cytoplasm. Cores from virions and the core-containing fraction of the infected cell cytoplasm contained only the NS1 form. All of the more highly phosphorylated NS2 form and some of the NS1 form were found to be free of cores, whether they were derived from virions or from the infected cell. Therefore, the degree of phosphorylation appeared to determine whether or not the NS protein became bound to VSV cores. Moreover, the amount of bound NS1 protein relative to nucleocapsids increased as the pH of the culture medium was raised from 6.6 to 7.4. Because an increased in pH increases VSV replication (Fiszman et al., J. Virol. 13:801-808, 1974; Palma and Huang, in W.S. Robinson and C.F. Fox, ed., Mechanisms of Virus Disease, ICN-UCLA Symposia, p. 87-100, 1974), the NS1 protein may either regulate overall VSV RNA synthesis or regulate the switch between transcription and replication.

Abstract
High-titer monospecific antiserum against highly purified adenovirus 2 (Ad2) single-stranded DNA binding protein (DBP) was used to study, by indirect immunofluorescence (IF), the synthesis of DBP in Ad2-infected human cells and adenovirus-transformed rat, hamster, and human cell lines. In infected cells the synthesis of DBP was first detected in the cytoplasm at 2 to 4 h postinfection and reached a maximum intensity at 6 h postinfection. At this time DBP began to accumulate in the nucleus, where it reached maximum intensity at about 14 h postinfection. The cytoplasmic IF was diffuse, whereas nuclear IF appeared as dots that coalesced into large globules as infection progressed. In cells treated with 1-beta-d-arabinofuranosylcytosine to inhibit viral DNA synthesis, strong nuclear IF was observed in the form of dots, but the large fluorescent globules were not observed. The Ad2 (oncogenic group C) anti-DBP serum reacted very strongly by IF with Ad5 (group C)-infected, to a lesser extent with Ad7 and Ad11 (group B)-infected, and weakly with Ad12 and Ad18 (group A)-infected KB cells (treated with 1-beta-d-arabinofuranosylcytosine). These results may indicate that Ad2 DBP is closely related immunologically to DBPs induced early after infection by adenovirus serotypes in oncogenic group C, moderately related to DBPs of serotypes in oncogenic group B, and perhaps distantly related to DBPs of serotypes in oncogenic group A. The following adenovirus-transformed cell lines were examined for DBP synthesis by IF with the Ad2 anti-DBP serum: six rat cell lines (T2C4, F17, 8662, 8638, 8617, and F161) transformed by Ad2 virus, three hamster cell lines transformed by Ad2 virus (Ad2HT1) and Ad2-simian virus 40 hybrid virus (ND1HK1 and ND4HK4), and one rat (5RK) and one human (293-31) cell line transformed by transfection with Ad5 DNA. T2C4 and 8662 appeared weakly positive, whereas Ad2HT1 and ND4HK1 were strongly positive. The other transformed cell lines did not produce DBP detectable by IF. Thus, some but not all transformed cell lines produce DBP, which indicates that DBP is not required for maintenance of cell transformation and that transformed cells can express "nontransforming" viral genes as protein.
