Question

During synthesis of poliovirus, at which terminus is the protein VPg located and what processes is it involved in?
a. 3? terminus / mediates binding of mRNA to ribosome for translation and serves as primer for transcription by viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
b. 5? terminus / mediates binding of mRNA to ribosome for translation and serves as primer for transcription by viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
c. 3? terminus / helps make dsRNA and helps cleave polyprotein
d. 5? terminus / helps helps make dsRNA for packing into new virions
e. 5' terminus / serves as primer for transcription by viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and brings polyprotein to the nucleus for packaging
