Megaviruses contain various genes encoding for eukaryotic vesicle trafficking factors
Giant viruses enter their eukaryotic host cells by phagocytosis. For reproduction, they hijack the host cell's membranes by an unknown mechanism. Here, we found that giant viruses express several core factors of the eukaryotic vesicle fusion machinery, including SNARE, Rab, SM proteins, and the disassembly protein NSF.

The expanding Asgard archaea and their elusive relationships with Eukarya
Abstract The discovery of Asgard archaea and the exploration of their diversity over the last 6 years have deeply impacted the scientific community working on eukaryogenesis, rejuvenating an intense debate on the topology of the universal tree of life (uTol). Here, we discuss how this debate is impacted by two recent publications that expand the number

Giant Virus-Eukaryote Interactions as Ecological and Evolutionary Driving Forces
Giant DNA viruses of eukaryotes are notable for their extraordinary genome size and coding capacity. Once thought to be oddities in the virus world, these elusive microbes have turned out to be widely occurring in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ...

Grazing on Marine Viruses and Its Biogeochemical Implications
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 ...
