Genetic Diversity and Characterization of Circular Replication (Rep)-Encoding Single-Stranded (CRESS) DNA Viruses [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 The CRESS-DNA viruses are the ubiquitous virus detected in almost all eukaryotic life trees and play an essential role in the maintaining ecosystem of the globe. Still, their genetic diversity is not fully understood.

First Report on Detection and Complete Genomic Analysis of a Novel CRESS DNA Virus from Sea Turtles [PDF]
Pathogens, 2023 To date, only a handful of viruses have been identified in sea turtles. Although eukaryotic circular Rep (replication initiation protein)-encoding single-stranded DNA (CRESS DNA) viruses have been reported from a wide variety of terrestrial species, and ...

Dynamics and Conformations of a Full-Length CRESS-DNA Replicase [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 Circular Rep-encoding single-stranded DNA (CRESS-DNA) viruses encode for a Replicase (Rep) that is essential for viral replication. Rep is a helicase with three domains: an endonuclease, an oligomeric, and an ATPase domain (ED, OD, and AD).

A Structural Perspective of Reps from CRESS-DNA Viruses and Their Bacterial Plasmid Homologues [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Rolling circle replication (RCR) is ubiquitously used by cellular and viral systems for genome and plasmid replication. While the molecular mechanism of RCR has been described, the structural mechanism is desperately lacking.
