Constructing a plasmid that codes for the human adenovirus B serotype 3 (HAdV-3) Hexon protein (L3) (625-853aa) along with the N-terminal 10xHis-tag gene and C-terminal Myc-tag gene is the initial step to yield the recombinant HAdV-3 Hexon protein. The plasmid is then transferred into E.coli cells. Positive E.coli cells are selected and cultured for protein expression. CUSABIO uses affinity chromatography to purify the protein. The SDS-PAGE analysis is carried out to verify the presence and assess the purity of the protein. The protein possesses a purity exceeding 85%.
Hexon protein is a vital component of adenoviruses, serving as one of the major capsid proteins associated with different viral species or serotypes [1]. It is the most abundant capsid protein, with 240 hexon capsomers, each consisting of a trimer of hexon proteins [2]. Hexon forms a total of 240 trimers on the surface of the icosahedral capsid, making it the most abundant viral capsid protein [3]. The hexon capsomer is an oligomeric protein with three subunits, and its structure and function are influenced by genetic material from specific regions of the viral genome [4]. Furthermore, hexon plays a significant role in the natural liver tropism of adenoviruses [5].
Hexon proteins are essential for inducing the formation of group-specific antibodies and contain major serotype-specific B cell epitopes [6][7]. They are type-specific, and replacing one type of adenovirus hexon with another can alter the neutralizing antigenic properties [8]. The hexon protein is structurally complex, with multiple hypervariable regions containing serotype-specific residues [9]. It is also involved in interactions with scavenger receptors Khare et al. [5] and is crucial for adenovirus assembly, with its nuclear import mediated by protein VI [10].
