Marseilleviridae sandbox


Marseilleviridae is a family of viruses first named in 2012.[1] The genomes of these viruses contain almost 500 genes in approximately 340–390 kilo base pairs (kbp) of double-stranded DNA packaged into icosahedral virions of approximately 200 to 250 nm diameter.[2][3][4] For comparison, the smallest naturally occurring organism that can grow in pure culture (Mycoplasma genitalium} has about the same number of genes, and the smallest obligate endosymbiont bacterium, Nasuia deltocephalinicola has only approximately 140 protein coding genes and a 140 kbp genome. Amoeba are often hosts for marseilleviridae, but there is evidence that they are found in humans as well.[5][6][7][8] As of 2016, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) recognizes four species in this family, divided among 2 genera.[9][10] However, there are alternate classifications based on DNA sequence data.[11] The marseilleviridae are members of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) clade.

The four lineages, A, B, C and D and the viral species grouped into them are as follows.

Lineage A
Cannes8 virus
Marseillevirus (same as 2016 ICTV genus)
Melbourne virus
Senegalvirus (similar to 2016 ICTV classification)
Lineage B
Lausannevirus (2016 ICTV genus unassigned)
Lineage C
Insectomime
Tunisvirus (2016 ICTV genus unassigned)
Lineage D

The viruses

[edit]

In alphabetical order

Brazilian Marseillevirus

[edit]

Is the first Marseillevirus from the Americas.[11] It grows in Acanthamoeba castellanii, has 362,276 base pairs (bp) in the circular DNA genome and has almost 500 open reading frames (ORFs).[11]

Cannes 8 virus

[edit]

Was isolated from a cooling tower in Cannes, France by culturing the water sample with Acanthamoeba castellanii.[12] Its circular genome has 374,041 bp and has almost 500 ORFs. [12]

Insectomime

[edit]

Was isolated from internal organs of a rat-tailed maggot of the drone fly Eristalis tenax found in a stagnant water reservoir tank.[3] The discoverers discussed the possibility that the virus was either ingested directly or with a "Trojan horse" amoeba.[3] The virus was grown by culturing with Acanthamoeba polyphaga. The icosahedral virus has a diameter of 225 nm with 386,631 bp of DNA.[3]

Lausannevirus

[edit]

Was isolated from an ameoba collected from the Seine river in 2005[4] It has only been found to grow in Acanthamoeba. The circular DNA sequence of 346,754 bp has been published, but a linear form with terminal repeats was also reported.[4] Lausannevirus and marseillevirus share 3 genes that encode histone-like proteins and a few inteins among the approximately 90% protein similarity between the viruses.[4]

Marseillevirus

[edit]

Was isolated in 2009 from a cooling tower in Paris by culturing on Acanthamoeba polyphaga[13]

[edit]

Additional species have since been recognized.[14] The first member of this family recognized has been named Acanthamoeba polyphaga marseillevirus. A second member is Acanthamoeba castellanii lausannevirus. Two additional viruses have been isolated but have yet to be named. Another member of this family has been isolated from blood donors.[15]

The viruses appear to fall into at least 3 lineages: (1) Marseillevirus and Cannes8virus (2) Insectomime and Tunisvirus and (3) Lausannevirus. A sixth potential member of this family—Melbournevirus—appears to be related to the Marseillevirus/Cannes8virus clade.[16]

A seventh virus—Brazilian Marseillevirus—has been reported.[17] [11]This virus appears to belong to a fourth lineage of virus in this family.

Another virus—Tokyovirus—has also been reported.[18]

Another member of this family is Kurlavirus.[19]

Structure

[edit]

Viruses in Marseilleviridae have icosahedral geometries. The diameter is around 250 nm. Genomes are circular, around 372kb in length. The genome has 457 open reading frames.[9]

Life cycle

[edit]

Dna templated transcription is the method of transcription. Amoeba serve as the natural host.[9]

History

[edit]

One of the first members of this family was described in 2009.[20] Other members described around then (2007) and since then have been documented.[21]
