The genome of adenovirus type 4 (Ad4), the unique member of Ad group E, has been mapped with nine restriction endonucleases. Comparison of the occurrence of restriction endonuclease cleavage sites on Ad2, Ad7, Ad12 and Ad4 indicates that there is very little homology between these serotypes. Sequence analysis at the ITR of Ad4 showed that the "CAT" box which is present in all the ITRs of Ad's so far sequenced is absent in Ad4. The length of 116 bp for the ITR of Ad4 is also different from that of other Ad subgroups.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a human parvovirus that normally requires a helper virus such as adenovirus (Ad) for replication. The four replication proteins (Rep78, 68, 52 and 40) encoded by AAV are pleiotropic effectors of virus integration, replication, transcription and virion assembly. Using Rep68 column chromatography and mass spectrometry, we have identified the nucleolar, B23/Nucleophosmin (NPM) protein as an Rep-interacting partner. Rep-NPM interactions were verified by co-immunofluorescence and chemical cross-linking studies. We have found that there is demonstrable, but limited co-localization between Rep and NPM in co-infected cells. In contrast, there was significant co-localization between NPM and AAV Cap proteins. In vitro experiments using purified MBPRep78 and NPM show that NPM stimulates MBPRep78 interactions with the AAV ITR as well as endonuclease activity. These studies suggest that NPM plays a role in AAV amplification affecting Rep function and virion assembly.
