Structural and functional insights into Mimivirus ORFans [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2007 Background Mimivirus isolated from A. polyphaga is the largest virus discovered so far. It is unique among all the viruses in having genes related to translation, DNA repair and replication which bear close homology to eukaryotic genes.

A new example of viral intein in Mimivirus
Virology Journal, 2005 Background Inteins are "protein introns" that remove themselves from their host proteins through an autocatalytic protein-splicing. After their discovery, inteins have been quickly identified in all domains of life, but only once to date in the genome of

Screening Pneumonia Patients for Mimivirus
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APM), a virus of free-living amebae, has reportedly caused human respiratory disease. Using 2 newly developed real-time PCR assays, we screened 496 respiratory specimens from 9 pneumonia-patient populations for APM. This
