Fecal Viral Community Responses to High-Fat Diet in Mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Alterations in diet can have significant impact on the host, with high-fat diet (HFD) leading to obesity, diabetes, and inflammation of the gut.

Unravelling the Endophytic Virome Inhabiting Maize Plant

open access: yesAgronomy, 2022
Endophytes are well-known for their symbiotic interaction with plants and their ability to promote plant growth by producing various metabolites. The most well-studied endophytes are bacteria and fungi.

Taxonomic, functional and expression analysis of viral communities associated with marine sponges [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2021
Viruses play an essential role in shaping the structure and function of ecological communities. Marine sponges have the capacity to filter large volumes of ‘virus-laden’ seawater through their bodies and host dense communities of microbial symbionts ...

KEGG tools for classification and analysis of viral proteins

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 32, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
Abstract The KEGG database and analysis tools (https://www.kegg.jp) have been developed mostly for understanding genes and genomes of cellular organisms. The KO (KEGG Orthology) dataset, which is a collection of functional orthologs, plays the role of linking genes in the genome to pathways and other molecular networks, enabling KEGG mapping to uncover

Analysis of virus genomes from glacial environments reveals novel virus groups with unusual host interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Microbial communities in glacial ecosystems are diverse, active, and subjected to strong viral pressures and infection rates. In this study we analyse putative virus genomes assembled from three dsDNA viromes from cryoconite hole ecosystems of Svalbard ...

Multiple infections of zoonotic pathogens in wild Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii)

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2201-2211, September 2023., 2023
Our research revealed the viral and bacterial diversity in wild Brandt's voles. The characterization and distinctive lineage of some rodent‐specific viruses (Cytomegalovirus, PestVs and Lentiviruses) and rodent‐borne bacteria (Leptospira interrogans and Vibrio cholerae) indicates that wild Brandt's voles may harbor a diversity of viruses and bacteria ...

Characterization and temperature dependence of Arctic Micromonas polaris viruses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Global climate change-induced warming of the Artic seas is predicted to shift the phytoplankton community towards dominance of smaller-sized species due to global warming.

A Functional K+ Channel from Tetraselmis Virus 1, a Member of the Mimiviridae

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Potassium ion (K+) channels have been observed in diverse viruses that infect eukaryotic marine and freshwater algae. However, experimental evidence for functional K+ channels among these alga-infecting viruses has thus far been restricted to members of ...

The histidine brace: nature's copper alternative to haem?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 597, Issue 4, Page 485-494, February 2023., 2023
The histidine brace and haem groups show similarities between different proteins: structural invariance but both supporting a range of different functions. The copper histidine brace is a structural unit in metalloproteins (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2011, 108, 15079). It consists of a copper ion chelated by the NH2 and π‐N atom of an N‐terminal histidine,
