mRNA maturation in giant viruses: variation on a theme [PDF]
, 2015 International audienceGiant viruses from the Mimiviridae family replicate entirely in their host cytoplasm where their genes are transcribed by a viral transcription apparatus. mRNA polyadenylation uniquely occurs at hairpin-forming palindromic sequences

Genome Characterization of the First Mimiviruses of Lineage C Isolated in Brazil
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 The family Mimiviridae, comprised by giant DNA viruses, has been increasingly studied since the isolation of the Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV), in 2003.

Marine and giant viruses as indicators of a marine microbial community in a riverine system [PDF]
, 2016 Viral communities are important for ecosystem function as they are involved in critical biogeochemical cycles and controlling host abundance. This study investigates riverine viral communities around a small rural town that influences local water inputs.

Revised Mimivirus major capsid protein sequence reveals intron-containing gene structure and extra domain [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Acanthamoebae polyphaga Mimivirus (APM) is the largest known dsDNA virus. The viral particle has a nearly icosahedral structure with an internal capsid shell surrounded with a dense layer of fibrils.

Identification of giant Mimivirus protein functions using RNA interference
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Genomic analysis of giant viruses, such as Mimivirus, has revealed that more than half of the putative genes have no known functions (ORFans). We knocked down Mimivirus genes using short interfering RNA (siRNA) as a proof of concept to determine the ...

A Family of Novel Cyclophilins, Conserved in the Mimivirus Genus of the Giant DNA Viruses
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2018 The cyclophilin (abbreviated here as CYN) family represents a large group of protein prolyl isomerase (PPIase), many of which are also chaperones that promote proper folding of a large variety of client proteins. Over the past few years, megaviruses with
