Aviadenovirus structure: a highly thermostable capsid in the absence of stabilizing proteins

High-resolution structural studies have mainly focused on two out of the six adenovi¬rus genera: mastadenoviruses and atadenoviruses. Here we report the high-resolution structure of an aviadenovirus, the poultry pathogen fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-C4). FAdV-C4 virions are highly thermostable,...

Here we report the high-resolution structure of an aviadenovirus, the poultry pathogen fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-C4). FAdV-C4 virions are highly thermostable, despite lacking minor coat and core proteins shown to stabilize the mast- and atadenovirus parti¬cles, having no genus-specific cementing proteins, and packaging a 25% longer genome. Unique structural features of the FAdV-C4 hexon include a large insertion at the trimer equatorial region, and a long N-terminal tail. Protein IIIa conformation is closer to atadenoviruses than to mastadenoviruses, while protein VIII diverges from all previously reported structures. We interpret these differences in light of adenovirus evolution. Finally, we discuss the possible role of core composition in determining capsid stability properties.
