Summary[edit]

Summary
Description Genome organization of Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) and the structure of virus. The FMDV genome includes a single large ORF, indicated by the shaded rectangle. The regions within the rectangle indicate the individual proteins. The 5’ UTR includes several distinct structural elements including: a poly(C) tract (Cn), 3 or 4 pseudoknots (PK) and the internal ribosome entry site (IRES). The VPg peptide is made in 3 different forms (encoded by the 3B1-3) and each acts as the primer for RNA synthesis so each RNA genome, when synthesized, is covalently linked to a VPg. The assembly of virus particles from protomeric and pentameric subunits is indicated. Assembled virus particles contain a single copy of the viral RNA and 60 copies of the 4 different capsid proteins (VP1-VP4). Self-assembly of empty capsid particles, lacking the RNA genome, can also occur. The VP4 protein is internal.
