Adenoviruses are characterized by the activation of adenoviral protease (adenain); the activity of adenain (AVP) is stimulated by DNA and by the pVIc peptide released from the pre-pVI protein. Peptide pVIc forms a disulfide bond with adenain and, as a result, increases its proteolytic activity further.
