Abstract excerpt
Picornavirus RNA replication is initiated by a small viral protein primer, 3B (also known as VPg), that is covalently linked to the 5' terminus of the viral genome. In contrast to other picornaviruses that encode a single copy of 3B, foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) encodes three copies of 3B. Viruses containing disrupted native sequence or deletion of one of their three 3B proteins were derived from a FMDV...
