Question

QUESTION 4 Matrix proteins provide the virus with some structural stability and also: A. facilitate insertion of the spike protein into the plasma membrane OB.serve as an intermediary between the spike protein and the nucleocapsid protein OC serve as scaffolding proteins D. serve as portal proteins OE, serve as fusion proteins QUESTION 5 The gag and gag-pol proteins of HIV depend on which of the following to get both synthesized from the same mRNA: A. slippery sequence OB. leaky scanning OC. protease cleavage D.alternative splicing

Answer 1

QUESTION 4

In this context, the matrix proteins are able to from layers inside the viral envelope. It is highly important fort the viral assembly and these proteins tend to form links between the nucleocapsids and the envelope. So, the serve as scaffolding proteins
