Eukaryotic viruses encode the ribosomal protein eL40

npj Viruses
Viruses in the phylum Nucleocytoviricota are large, complex and have an exceptionally diverse metabolic repertoire. Some encode hundreds of products involved in the translation of mRNA into protein, but none was known to encode any of the proteins in ...

A framework for Polinton-like virus diversity reveals links to multiple viral classes and Nucleocytoviricota

Abstract Polinton-like viruses (PLVs) are among the most abundant eukaryotic DNA viruses in aquatic environments. Despite their extensive diversity, broad host range and variable gene content, they are commonly treated as a single group, which obscures their evolutionary relationships and complicates their classification.

A multilayered network reveals the centrality of newly discovered Nucleocytoviricota in wastewater treatment plant communities

Abstract Viruses of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota are paradigm-shifting entities due to their exceptionally large genomes and complex gene repertoires, which blur the lines between viral and cellular life.

“Mamonoviridae”, a proposed new family of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota

Acanthamoeba castellanii medusavirus J1 is a giant virus that was isolated from a hot spring in Japan in 2019. Recently, a close relative of this virus, named medusavirus stheno T3, was isolated in Japan.

Elucidating the protein interaction network of one of the largest icosahedral capsids in the virosphere

The EMBO Journal
Giant viruses challenge traditional boundaries of virology with their large particle sizes, complex genomes, and unique replication strategies. Yet, despite its 750 nm diameter and incorporation of dozens of proteins, the mimivirus virion retains an ...

Structural Characterization of Two Large Icosahedral DNA Viruses and Their Capsid Assembly Mechanisms [PDF]

, 2020
In the last three decades, many large DNA viruses were discovered and grouped into a loosely defined clade of Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDVs). NCLDVs infect a wide range of hosts from single cellular protists to large animals.

Evolution of ubiquitin, cytoskeleton, and vesicular trafficking machinery in giant viruses

Journal of Virology
Members of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota, which include “giant viruses” known for their large physical dimensions and genome lengths, are a diverse group of dsDNA viruses that infect a wide range of eukaryotic hosts.

Nucleocytoviricota in brown algae and their impact on cell architecture

Giant viruses of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota with large double-stranded DNA genomes infect diverse eukaryotic hosts. Genomes of these giant viruses have increasingly been found integrated into the genomes of their hosts.

Seasonal dynamics and diversity of Antarctic marine viruses reveal a novel viral seascape

Nature Communications
The Southern Ocean microbial ecosystem, with its pronounced seasonal shifts, is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Since viruses are key modulators of microbial abundance, diversity, and evolution, we need a better understanding of the effects ...

Unveiling the hidden viral biodiversity and potential ecological functions with global coral holobiont virome database

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Viruses are integral yet underexplored components of coral holobionts, with their roles in shaping microbial diversity, modulating symbioses, and contributing to Darwin’s paradox remaining largely unresolved.
