“Megavirales”, a proposed new order for eukaryotic nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses [PDF]
Archives of Virology, 2013 The nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) comprise a monophyletic group of viruses that infect animals and diverse unicellular eukaryotes. The NCLDV group includes the families Poxviridae, Asfarviridae, Iridoviridae, Ascoviridae, Phycodnaviridae, Mimiviridae and the proposed family "Marseilleviridae".

Multisubunit DNA-Dependent RNA Polymerases from Vaccinia Virus and Other Nucleocytoplasmic Large-DNA Viruses: Impressions from the Age of Structure [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2017 SUMMARY The past 17 years have been marked by a revolution in our understanding of cellular multisubunit DNA-dependent RNA polymerases (MSDDRPs) at the structural level. A parallel development over the past 15 years has been the emerging story of the giant viruses, which encode MSDDRPs.

Dynamics of the DNA Viral Community in Korean Coastal Waters [PDF]
Scientific DataRecent advances in metaviromics have revealed vast viral diversity across aquatic environments, yet coastal marine viromes remain underexplored compared to their open-ocean counterparts. In this study, we analyzed 49 surface water samples from 16 coastal

Virophages and Their Interactions with Giant Viruses and Host Cells
Proteomes, 2018 Virophages are small dsDNA viruses that were first isolated in association with some giant viruses (GVs), and then found in metagenomics samples. They encode about 20–34 proteins.

Structure-Based Deep Mining Reveals First-Time Annotations for 46 Percent of the Dark Annotation Space of the 9,671-Member Superproteome of the Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses. [PDF]
J Virol, 2020 We extended the known annotation space for the NCLDV by 46%, revealing high-probability structural matches for fully 45% of the 9,671 query proteins and confirming up to 98% of existing annotations per virus. The most prevalent protein families included ankyrin repeat- and MORN repeat-containing proteins, many of which included an F-box, suggesting ...

Comparative Genomics of Amphibian-like Ranaviruses, Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses of Poikilotherms. [PDF]
Evol Bioinform Online, 2015 Recent research on genome evolution of large DNA viruses has highlighted a number of incredibly dynamic processes that can facilitate rapid adaptation. The genomes of amphibian-like ranaviruses - double-stranded DNA viruses infecting amphibians, reptiles, and fish (family Iridoviridae) - were examined to assess variation in genome content and ...

Identification of an L-rhamnose synthetic pathway in two nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses. [PDF]
J Virol, 2010 ABSTRACT Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are characterized by large genomes that often encode proteins not commonly found in viruses. Two species in this group are Acanthocystis turfacea chlorella virus 1 (ATCV-1) (family Phycodnaviridae , genus Chlorovirus

Classification and Determination of Possible Origins of ORFans through Analysis of Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses [PDF]
Intervirology, 2010 <i>Objective:</i> An important proportion of coding sequences in genomes, notably in viruses, do not match any sequences in databases and are assigned as ORFan sequences. Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) harbor great numbers of ORFs with a high number consisting of ORFans. Thus, we decided to decipher the nature of ORFans in the
