Role of the R349 Gene and Its Repeats in the MIMIVIRE Defense System

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
MIMIVIRE is a defense system described in lineage A Mimivirus (Mimiviridae family) that mediates resistance against Zamilon virophage. It is composed of putative helicase and nuclease associated with a gene of unknown function called R349, which contains

Structural and Mechanistic Analyses Reveal a Unique Cas4-like Protein in the Mimivirus Virophage Resistance Element System

iScience, 2018
Summary: A clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-like “mimivirus virophage resistance element” (MIMIVIRE) system, which contains specific cascade genes and a CRISPR array against virophages, was reported in mimiviruses.

Giant viruses coexisted with the cellular ancestors and represent a distinct supergroup along with superkingdoms Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background The discovery of giant viruses with genome and physical size comparable to cellular organisms, remnants of protein translation machinery and virus-specific parasites (virophages) have raised intriguing questions about their origin.

Prevalence of the protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium on three organic pig farms in Denmark [PDF]

, 2013
Pigs are potential sources of contamination with Cryptosporidium spp., which can lead to infection in humans. Cryptosporidiosis in humans is primarily caused by two species, C. hominis and the zoonotic C. parvum, however, other species including C.

Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirusVirophage Seroconversion in Travelers Returning from Laos

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
During January 2010, a husband and wife returned from Laos to France with probable parasitic disease. Increased antibodies against an Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus virophage indicated seroconversion. While in Laos, they had eaten raw fish, a potential source of the virophage. This virophage, associated with giant viruses suspected to cause pneumonia,

Virophages go nuclear in the marine alga Bigelowiella natans [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
The virus world in which we live will never cease to amaze us. Historically, viruses were studied primarily from medical and economic perspectives; however, the last decades have shown that viruses play roles far more versatile than we could have imagined.
