Viral communities in millipede guts: Insights into the diversity and potential role in modulating the microbiome

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2024.
Relative abundance of the metagenome‐assembled viral genomes (bottom arch) identified in the hindgut metagenomes and metatranscriptomes of Epibolus pulchripes and Glomeris connexa. The top arch shows the coverage of each viral phylum mapped to the identified metagenome‐assembled viral genomes in transcripts per million.

Molecular dissection of the domain architecture and catalytic activities of human PrimPol [PDF]

, 2014
PrimPol is a primase–polymerase involved in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. Although PrimPol is predicted to possess an archaeo-eukaryotic primase and a UL52-like zinc finger domain, the role of these domains has not been ...

Biochemical and structural characterization of an inositol pyrophosphate kinase from a giant virus

The EMBO Journal
Kinases that synthesize inositol phosphates (IPs) and pyrophosphates (PP-IPs) control numerous biological processes in eukaryotic cells. Herein, we extend this cellular signaling repertoire to viruses. We have biochemically and structurally characterized
