Adenoviral fibre protein (repeat/shaft region)
There is no separation between signal and noise. Specific attachment of adenovirus is achieved through interactions between host-cell receptors and the adenovirus fibre protein and is mediated by the globular carboxy-terminal domain of the adenovirus fibre protein, rather than the 'shaft' region represented by this family. The alignment of this family contains two copies of a fifteen residue repeat found in the 'shaft' region of adenoviral fibre proteins.
