Methanosarcina Spherical Virus, a Novel Archaeal Lytic Virus Targeting Methanosarcina Strains [PDF]
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

DNA Ejection from an Archaeal Virus—A Single-Molecule Approach [PDF]
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.

Fidelity in Archaeal Information Processing [PDF]
A key element during the flow of genetic information in living systems is fidelity. The accuracy of DNA replication influences the genome size as well as the rate of genome evolution.

Daily Reports on Phage-Host Interactions
Understanding phage-host relationships is crucial for the study of virus biology and the application of phages in biotechnology and medicine. However, information concerning the range of hosts for bacterial and archaeal viruses is scattered across ...

Morphotypes of virus-like particles in two hydrothermal vent fields on the East Scotia Ridge, Antarctica [PDF]
Viruses from extreme environments are still largely unexplored and may harbor unseen genetic potential. Here, we present a first glance at the morphological diversity of virus like particles (VLPs) from an environment that is extreme in more than one ...

Transcriptome analysis of infection of the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus with Sulfolobus turreted icosahedral virus [PDF]
Microarray analysis of infection by Sulfolobus turreted icosahedral virus (STIV) revealed insights into the timing and extent of virus transcription, as well as differential regulation of host genes. Using a microarray containing genes from both the host

The Viral Susceptibility of the Haloferax Species
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.

Biochemical and Phylogenetic Characterization of the dUTPase from the Archaeal Virus SIRV [PDF]
The derived amino acid sequence from a 474-base pair open reading frame in the genome of the Sulfolobus islandicus rod-shaped virus SIRV shows striking similarity to bacterial dCTP deaminases and to dUTPases from eukaryotes, bacteria, Poxviridae, and Retroviridae.

Protein-protein interactions leading to recruitment of the host DNA sliding clamp by the hyperthermophilic Sulfolobus islandicus rod- shaped virus 2 [PDF]
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 ...
