Abstract excerpt
Viral protein genome-linked (VPg) protein plays an essential role in protein-primed replication of plus-stranded RNA viruses. VPg is covalently linked to the 5' end of the viral RNA genome via a phosphodiester bond typically at a conserved amino acid. Whereas most viruses have a single VPg, some viruses have multiple VPgs that are proposed to have redundant yet undefined roles in viral replication. Here, we use...
