Genomic and evolutionary aspects of MimivirusM Suzan-Monti
Unité des Rickettsies et pathogènes émergents, Faculte de Medecine, IFR 48, CNRS UMR 6020, Universite de la Mediterranee, 27 Bd Jean Moulin, 13385 Marseille Cedex 05, France
Virus Res 117:145-55. 2006..This paper reviews our current knowledge on Mimivirus structure, life cycle and genome analysis and discusses its putative evolutionary origin in the tree of species of the three domains of life...
Ultrastructural characterization of the giant volcano-like virus factory of Acanthamoeba polyphaga MimivirusMarie Suzan-Monti
Unite des Rickettsies, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique CNRS UMR 6020, IFR 48, Faculte de Medecine, Universite de la Mediterranee, Marseille, France
PLoS ONE 2:e328. 2007....
Giant Marseillevirus highlights the role of amoebae as a melting pot in emergence of chimeric microorganismsMickael Boyer
Unite de Recherche sur les Maladies Infectieuses et Tropicales Emergentes, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Unite Mixte de Recherche, Institut de Recherche pour le Développement 6236, Faculte de Medecine, Universite de la Mediterranee, 13385 Marseille Cedex 5, France
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106:21848-53. 2009..We propose that amoebae are "melting pots" of microbial evolution where diverse forms emerge, including giant viruses with complex gene repertoires of various origins...
Classification and determination of possible origins of ORFans through analysis of nucleocytoplasmic large DNA virusesMickael Boyer
URMITE, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique UMR IRD 6236, Faculte de Medecine, Universite de la Mediterranee, Marseille, France
Intervirology 53:310-20. 2010..Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) harbor great numbers of ORFs with a high number consisting of ORFans. Thus, we decided to decipher the nature of ORFans in the NCLDVs...
The virophage as a unique parasite of the giant mimivirusBernard La Scola
URMITE, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique UMR IRD 6236, Faculte de Medecine, Universite de la Mediterranee, 27 Boulevard Jean Moulin, 13385 Marseille Cedex 5, France
Nature 455:100-4. 2008..Considering its functional analogy with bacteriophages, we classify this virus as a virophage. The virophage could be a vehicle mediating lateral gene transfer between giant viruses...
Revised Mimivirus major capsid protein sequence reveals intron-containing gene structure and extra domainSaid Azza
Unité de Recherche sur les Maladies Infectieuses et Tropicales Emergentes URMITE, CNRS IRD UMR 6236, IFR 48, Faculte de Medecine, 27 Boulevard Jean Moulin, 13385 Marseille Cedex 05, France
BMC Mol Biol 10:39. 2009..This result led us to investigate the L425 gene structure and the biochemical properties of the complete APM major Capsid protein...
