Degradation of de novo-generated adeno-associated virus type 5 (AAV5) Rep52 and capsid proteins is part of the limited target specificity displayed by adenovirus type 5 E4Orf6-E1B-55k as part of a cullin 5-containing E3 ligase complex. Both Rep and capsid proteins can be found in the ligase complex, and their presence is dependent on interaction between E4Orf6 and elongins B and C. Degradation of AAV5 proteins can be inhibited by a dominant-negative ubiquitin that prevents chain elongation or by small interfering RNA directed against cullin 5.
