The viral capsid is formed by the three structural proteins VP1, VP2 and VP3 which are encoded by the cap gene in an overlapping reading frame. They form an icosahedral symmetry arranged in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1:10. The mRNA encoding for the cap proteins is transcribed from p40 and alternative spliced to minor and major products. Sharing a common C terminus and stop codon, the VP proteins begin with a different start codon. The translation of VP2 from the major spliced mRNA is not as efficient as of VP1 and VP3 because it initiates at a Thr codon (ACG). The N terminus of VP2 contains a motiv of about 70 amino acids that is highly homologous to a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) domain. Furthermore, there are nuclear localization sequences (BR)(+) which are supposed to be necessary for endosomal escape and nuclear entry. The exact role of VP2 remains unknown, although the protein is thought to be nonessential for viral assembly and infectivity. | The viral capsid is formed by the three structural proteins VP1, VP2 and VP3 which are encoded by the cap gene in an overlapping reading frame.

The viral capsid is formed by the three structural proteins VP1, VP2 and VP3 which are encoded by the cap gene in an overlapping reading frame. They form an icosahedral symmetry arranged in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1:10. The mRNA encoding for the cap proteins is transcribed from p40 and alternative spliced to minor and major products. Sharing a common C terminus and stop codon, the VP proteins begin with a different start codon. The translation of VP2 from the major spliced mRNA is not as efficient as of VP1 and VP3 because it initiates at a Thr codon (ACG). The N terminus of VP2 contains a motiv of about 70 amino acids that is highly homologous to a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) domain. Furthermore, there are nuclear localization sequences (BR)(+) which are supposed to be necessary for endosomal escape and nuclear entry. The exact role of VP2 remains unknown, although the protein is thought to be nonessential for viral assembly and infectivity.
