Comparative Genomics and Environmental Distribution of Large dsDNA Viruses in the Family Asfarviridae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The family Asfarviridae is a group of nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) of which African swine fever virus (ASFV) is well-characterized. Recently the discovery of several Asfarviridae members other than ASFV has suggested that this family ...

Coral Bleaching Phenotypes Associated With Differential Abundances of Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Eukaryotic viruses and bacteriophage have been implicated in disease and bleaching in corals, but the compositional and functional diversity of these viruses in healthy and compromised hosts remains underexplored. To investigate whether viral assemblages

Marine mimivirus relatives are probably large algal viruses [PDF]

, 2008
Background Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus is the largest known ds-DNA virus and its 1.2 Mb-genome sequence has revealed many unique features. Mimivirus occupies an independent lineage among eukaryotic viruses and its known hosts include only species ...

Viral rhodopsins 1 are an unique family of light-gated cation channels

Nature Communications, 2020
Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDV) that infect algae encode two distinct families of microbial rhodopsins. Here, the authors characterise two proteins form the viral rhodopsin group 1 OLPVR1 and VirChR1, present the 1.4 Å crystal structure of ...

RNA Sequencing of Medusavirus Suggests Remodeling of the Host Nuclear Environment at an Early Infection Stage

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Viruses of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota, or nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), undergo a cytoplasmic or nucleo-cytoplasmic cycle, the latter of which involves both nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments to proceed viral replication ...

A unique horizontal gene transfer event has provided the octocoral mitochondrial genome with an active mismatch repair gene that has potential for an unusual self-contained function [PDF]

, 2011
Background The mitochondrial genome of the Octocorallia has several characteristics atypical for metazoans, including a novel gene suggested to function in DNA repair.

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.
