Eukaryotic large nucleo-cytoplasmic DNA viruses: Clusters of orthologous genes and reconstruction of viral genome evolution

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2009
Background The Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDV) comprise an apparently monophyletic class of viruses that infect a broad variety of eukaryotic hosts.

HuR interacts with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase, and modulates reverse transcription in infected cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Reverse transcription of the genetic material of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a critical step in the replication cycle of this virus. This process, catalyzed by reverse transcriptase (RT), is well characterized at the biochemical level.

Evolution and Phylogeny of large DNA viruses, Mimiviridae and Phycodnaviridae including newly characterized Heterosigma akashiwo virus

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Nucleocytoplasmic DNA viruses are a large group of viruses that harbor double-stranded DNA genomes with sizes of several hundred kbp, challenging the traditional concept of viruses as small, simple ‘organisms at the edge of life’.

The “Neglected Viruses” of Taihu: Abundant Transcripts for Viruses Infecting Eukaryotes and Their Potential Role in Phytoplankton Succession

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Drivers of algal bloom dynamics remain poorly understood, but viruses have been implicated as important players. Research addressing bloom dynamics has generally been restricted to the virus-infection of the numerically dominant (i.e. bloom forming) taxa.

The Mimivirus L375 Nudix enzyme hydrolyzes the 5' mRNA cap.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
The giant Mimivirus is a member of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV), a group of diverse viruses that contain double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes that replicate primarily in eukaryotic hosts.

Grazing on Marine Viruses and Its Biogeochemical Implications

open access: yesmBio, 2023
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities in the ocean and show great diversity in terms of size, host specificity, and infection cycle. Lytic viruses induce host cell lysis to release their progeny and thereby redirect nutrients from higher to ...

Coral-associated viral communities show high levels of diversity and host auxiliary functions [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
Stony corals (Scleractinia) are marine invertebrates that form the foundation and framework upon which tropical reefs are built. The coral animal associates with a diverse microbiome comprised of dinoflagellate algae and other protists, bacteria, archaea,

Marine mimivirus relatives are probably large algal viruses [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Welcome to pandoraviruses at the 'Fourth TRUC’ club

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), or representatives of the proposed order Megavirales, belong to families of giant viruses that infect a broad range of eukaryotic hosts.

A billion years arms-race between viruses, virophages, and eukaryotes

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Bamfordviruses are arguably the most diverse group of viruses infecting eukaryotes. They include the Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), virophages, adenoviruses, Mavericks and Polinton-like viruses.
