Complete genome sequence of Cannes 8 virus, a new member of the proposed family “Marseilleviridae”

Virus Genes, 2013
Marseillevirus is a giant virus that was isolated in 2007 by culturing water collected from a cooling tower in Paris, France, on Acanthamoeba polyphaga. Since then, five other marseilleviruses have been detected in environmental or human samples. The genomes of two of the six marseilleviruses have been described in detail. We describe herein the genome

Structures of two main components of the virophage and Marseilleviridae virions extend the range of unrelated viruses using fiber head as common receptor binding fold

2023
ABSTRACTThe detailed proteomic analysis ofMarseilleviridaeicosahedral capsids revealed that the two most abundant protein components of the virions were the Major Capsid Protein (MCP) and the product of an ORFan gene conserved in allMarseilleviridae. The noumeavirus NMV_189 3D structure revealed a common fold with fiber head proteins used by a variety ...

Megavirales Composing a Fourth Domain of Life: Mimiviridae and Marseilleviridae

2012
The 2003 discovery of Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus led to several breakthroughs and subsequent discussions related to the evolution, origin and definition of viruses and dramatically boosted scientific interest in giant viruses. Mimivirus was the largest virus with respect to particle size and genome length, and its analysis blurred the paradigms ...

High-throughput isolation of giant viruses of the Mimiviridae and Marseilleviridae families in the Tunisian environment.

Environmental microbiology, 2013
Giant viruses of the Megavirales order have been recently isolated from aquatic environments and have long been neglected because they are removed from samples during viral purification for viral metagenomic studies. Due to bacterial overgrowth and susceptibility to high concentrations of antibiotics, isolation by amoeba co-culture has a low efficiency
