Species D ...Adenoviruses are widely used as vectors for subunit vaccines and oncolytic therapies. Efficient vectors must infect target cells and deliver therapeutic transgenes at high levels. Species D adenoviruses, such as human adenovirus type 10 (HAdV-D10), are promising candidates due to low seroprevalence in humans. Here, we present the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the HAdV-D10 capsid alongside transcriptomic profiling of infected cells to inform vector development. The fiber shaft, essential for cell entry, was resolved at 10 Å, revealing a previously uncharacterized 'umbrella' motif. Viral transcript analysis using an ORF-centric pipeline uncovered key differences from HAdV-C5, including abundant expression of a transcript encoding a protein equivalent to mature protein VII. These findings highlight the importance of detailed vector characterization prior to clinical translation and support the advancement of HAdV-D10 as a next-generation platform for gene delivery and vaccine development. |
