Despite extensive studies, the structural details of core and minor capsid proteins in adenoviruses remain poorly understood. In this study, the architecture of bovine adenovirus type 3 (BAdV-3), a member of the Mastadenovirus genus, was solved by cryo-electron microscopy. Our structure shows that BAdV-3 shares significant structural conservation with human adenoviruses. Atomic models were constructed for a previously uncharacterized region of the minor protein VI and for the core proteins V and Mu. The study revealed how core proteins bridge the genome and capsid, underscore the multifaceted roles of protein V in strengthening capsid stability and facilitating genome release.
