Mimivirus and its Virophage

Annual Review of Genetics, 2009
Mimivirus, a virus infecting amoebae of the acanthamoeba genus, is the prototype member of the Mimiviridae, the latest addition to the family of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, already including the Poxviridae, the Iridoviridae, the Asfarviridae, and the Phycodnaviridae.

Mimivirus

2009
Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus, the first representative and prototype member of the Mimiviridae, is the latest addition to the menagerie of lesser-known big DNA viruses. Due to the size of its particle--a fiber-covered icosahedral protein capsid with a diameter of 0.7 microm--Mimivirus was initially mistaken for an intracellular parasitic bacteria ...

Redefining viruses: lessons from Mimivirus

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2008
Viruses are the most abundant living entities and probably had a major role in the evolution of life, but are still defined using negative criteria. Here, we propose to divide biological entities into two groups of organisms: ribosome-encoding organisms, which include eukaryotic, archaeal and bacterial organisms, and capsid-encoding organisms, which ...

Characteristics of Giant Viruses: Achantamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus, Pandoravirus and Tupanvirus: A Review of the Literature

Indonesian Journal of Engineering and Technological Innovation
'Giant viruses' are viruses that have a genome of >200,000 bp and have been shown to infect eukaryotic organisms such as algae and protists. Giant viruses viruses have unique characteristics in addition to being very large in size, these viruses have a ...

The Putative Packaging ATPase of Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus Is an Essential Protein That Interacts With the Genome Segregation and Packaging Machinery

The FASEB Journal
Giant viruses are hypothesized to utilize the FtsK/HerA type ATP‐driven motor to package the genome during the virus assembly. Previously, we reported the presence of several recombinases and topoisomerase II in Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV ...

Genomic and evolutionary aspects of Mimivirus

Virus Research, 2006
We recently described a giant double stranded DNA virus called Mimivirus, isolated from amoebae, which might represent a new pneumonia-associated human pathogen. Its unique morphological and genomic characteristics allowed us to propose Mimivirus as a member of a new distinct Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA viruses family, the Mimiviridae.
