The Viral Susceptibility of the Haloferax Species
Viruses, 2022 Viruses can infect members of all three domains of life. However, little is known about viruses infecting archaea and the mechanisms that determine their host interactions are poorly understood.

Structure and cell biology of archaeal virus STIV [PDF]
Current Opinion in Virology, 2012 Recent investigations of archaeal viruses have revealed novel features of their structures and life cycles when compared to eukaryotic and bacterial viruses, yet there are structure-based unifying themes suggesting common ancestral relationships among dsDNA viruses in the three kingdoms of life.

Isolation of archaeal viruses with lipid membrane from Tengchong acidic hot springs
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Archaeal viruses are one of the most mysterious parts of the virosphere because of their diverse morphologies and unique genome contents. The crenarchaeal viruses are commonly found in high temperature and acidic hot springs, and the number of identified

Methanosarcina Spherical Virus, a Novel Archaeal Lytic Virus Targeting Methanosarcina Strains [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2017 ABSTRACT A novel archaeal lytic virus targeting species of the genus Methanosarcina was isolated using Methanosarcina mazei strain Gö1 as the host. Due to its spherical morphology, the virus was designated Met hanosarcina s pherical

Protein-protein interactions leading to recruitment of the host DNA sliding clamp by the hyperthermophilic Sulfolobus islandicus rod- shaped virus 2 [PDF]
, 2014 Viruses infecting hyperthermophilic archaea typically do not encode DNA polymerases, raising questions regarding their genome replication. Here, using a yeast two-hybrid approach, we have assessed interactions between proteins of Sulfolobus islandicus ...

DNA Ejection from an Archaeal Virus—A Single-Molecule Approach [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2013 The translocation of genetic material from the viral capsid to the cell is an essential part of the viral infection process. Whether the energetics of this process is driven by the energy stored within the confined nucleic acid or cellular processes pull the genome into the cell has been the subject of discussion.
