Biochemical analysis of a sugar 4,6‐dehydratase from Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus

Protein Science, 2020
The exciting discovery of the giant DNA Mimivirus in 2003 challenged the conventional description of viruses in a radical way, and since then, dozens of additional giant viruses have been identified. It has now been demonstrated that the Mimivirus genome

Amoebae, Giant Viruses, and Virophages Make Up a Complex, Multilayered Threesome

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Viral infection had not been observed for amoebae, until the Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV) was discovered in 2003. APMV belongs to the nucleocytoplasmatic large DNA virus (NCLDV) family and infects not only A.

Unveiling Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) RNA‐ and DNA‐Based Virome in Western Kenya: Insights From Metatranscriptomic and Metagenomic Signatures

Advances in Virology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) is Kenya’s second most important agricultural product after maize, serving as a vital source of protein for many rural families in Western Kenya. However, viral diseases caused by RNA and DNA viruses greatly impair bean productivity, often leading to yield losses of up to 100%, thus contributing to food insecurity ...

African swine fever virus assembles a single membrane derived from rupture of the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]

, 2016
Collective evidence argues that two members of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) acquire their membrane from open membrane intermediates, postulated to be derived from membrane rupture.

Diversity and structural‐functional insights of alpha‐solenoid proteins

Protein Science, Volume 33, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Alpha‐solenoids are a significant and diverse subset of structured tandem repeat proteins (STRPs) that are important in various domains of life. This review examines their structural and functional diversity and highlights their role in critical cellular processes such as signaling, apoptosis, and transcriptional regulation.

Ancestrality and Mosaicism of Giant Viruses Supporting the Definition of the Fourth TRUC of Microbes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Giant viruses of amoebae were discovered in 2003. Since then, their diversity has greatly expanded. They were suggested to form a fourth branch of life, collectively named ‘TRUC’ (for “Things Resisting Uncompleted Classifications”) alongside Bacteria ...
