Acanthamoeba polyphaga de novo transcriptome and its dynamics during Mimivirus infection Open
Mimivirus bradfordmassiliense (Mimivirus) is a giant virus that infects Acanthamoeba species – opportunistic human pathogens. Long- and short-read sequencing were used to generate a de novo transcriptome of the host and followed the dynami…

Identification of a Chlorovirus PBCV-1 Protein Involved in Degrading the Host Cell Wall during Virus Infection Open
Chloroviruses are unusual among viruses infecting eukaryotic organisms in that they must, like bacteriophages, penetrate a rigid cell wall to initiate infection. Chlorovirus PBCV-1 infects its host, Chlorella variabilis NC64A by specifical…

Kinetics of <i>Mimivirus</i> Infection Stages Quantified Using Image Flow Cytometry Open
Due to the heterogeneity of viruses and their hosts, a comprehensive view of viral infection is best achieved by analyzing large populations of infected cells. However, information regarding variation in infected cell populations is lost i…

Structural studies demonstrating a bacteriophage-like replication cycle of the eukaryote-infecting Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus-1 Open
A fundamental stage in viral infection is the internalization of viral genomes in host cells. Although extensively studied, the mechanisms and factors responsible for the genome internalization process remain poorly understood. Here we rep…

Efficiency in Complexity: Composition and Dynamic Nature of Mimivirus Replication Factories Open
The recent discovery of multiple giant double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses blurred the consensual distinction between viruses and cells due to their size, as well as to their structural and genetic complexity. A dramatic feature revealed b…
