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.
