Instead of a 5' cap on the viral genomic RNA, genomes of the picornaviruses have a covalently bound protein.In addition, the viral 3C protease cleaves a major component of the cap binding complex.This situation should inhibit translation initiation of the picornaviral RNA into protein.Explain how the virus "solves" this problem.
