evolutionary history of the coccolithoviridae. | we recently determined the genome sequence of the coccolithoviridae strain emiliania huxleyi virus 86 (ehv-86), a giant double-stranded dna (dsdna) algal virus from the family phycodnaviridae that infects the marine coccolithophorid e. huxleyi. here, we determine the phylogenetic relationship between ehv-86 and other large dsdna viruses. twenty-five core genes common to nuclear-cytoplasmic large dsdna virus genomes were identified in the ehv-86 genome; sequence from eight of these genes were use ... | 2006 | 16151186 |
proteomic analysis of the ehv-86 virion. | emiliania huxleyi virus 86 (ehv-86) is the type species of the genus coccolithovirus within the family phycodnaviridae. the fully sequenced 407,339 bp genome is predicted to encode 473 protein coding sequences (cdss) and is the largest phycodnaviridae sequenced to date. the majority of ehv-86 cdss exhibit no similarity to proteins in the public databases. | 2008 | 18346272 |
a unicellular algal virus, emiliania huxleyi virus 86, exploits an animal-like infection strategy. | emiliania huxleyi virus 86 (ehv-86) belongs to the family phycodnaviridae, a group of viruses that infect a wide range of freshwater and marine eukaryotic algae. phycodnaviridae is one of the five families that belong to a large and phylogenetically diverse group of viruses known as nucleocytoplasmic large dsdna viruses (ncldvs). to date, our understanding of algal ncldv entry is based on the entry mechanisms of members of the genera chlorovirus and phaeovirus, both of which consist of non-envel ... | 2009 | 19474246 |
