Giant capsids from lattice self-assembly of cyclodextrin complexes [PDF]

, 2017
Proteins can readily assemble into rigid, crystalline and functional structures such as viral capsids and bacterial compartments. Despite ongoing advances, it is still a fundamental challenge to design and synthesize protein-mimetic molecules to form ...

New Brazilian giant viruses isolation from environmental samples using a panel of protozoa.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The Megavirales are a newly described order capable of infecting different types of eukaryotic hosts. For the most part, the natural host is unknown.

A de novo virus-like topology for synthetic virions [PDF]

, 2016
A de novo ultra-small topology of viral assembly is reported. The design is a tri-faceted coiled-coil peptide helix, which self-assembles into monodisperse, anionic virions able to encapsulate and transfer both RNA and DNA into human cells.

Ubiquitous giants: a plethora of giant viruses found in Brazil and Antarctica

Virology Journal, 2018
Background Since the discovery of giant viruses infecting amoebae in 2003, many dogmas of virology have been revised and the search for these viruses has been intensified.

Metavirome Survey of Eight Ray-Finned Fishes Revealed Domination of Giant Viral Members of Pandoravirus and Megaviricetes

, 2021
Abstract Background Fishes are an essential source of food all around the world. The bulk of the microbial diversity in marine ecosystems is uncharacterized, with viruses accounting for most of the remaining diversity. This may be a major danger to public health, therefore knowing the variety of viruses in the marine ecosystem is critical. The

Deciphering viral presences: two novel partial giant viruses detected in marine metagenome and in a mine drainage metagenome

Virology Journal, 2018
Nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses are doubled stranded DNA viruses capable of infecting eukaryotic cells. Since the discovery of Mimivirus and Pandoravirus, there has been no doubt about their extraordinary features compared to “classic” viruses ...

mRNA maturation in giant viruses: variation on a theme [PDF]

, 2015
International audienceGiant viruses from the Mimiviridae family replicate entirely in their host cytoplasm where their genes are transcribed by a viral transcription apparatus. mRNA polyadenylation uniquely occurs at hairpin-forming palindromic sequences
