الاكتشاف

تم عزل ميگا‌ڤيروس من عينة مياه في أبريل 2010 أخذت من سواحل تشيلي، بالقرب من محطة بحرية في لاس كروكس، بواسطة البروفيسور جان-مايكل كلاڤري ود. چانتال أبرگيل من معمل المعلومات الجينية والبنيوية بجامعة أيكس-مارسيليا]].


التصنيف

Megavirus is not yet classified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, but will be proposed as a member of the Megaviridae, a new family constituted of the large DNA viruses the genome of which is around a million base pairs in length. Members of this new family defined by a number of common specific features (Table 1 and 2) will include various viruses likely to share a common ancestor with Mimivirus and Megavirus, although their present genome size was reduced below 1 Mb. Megavirus also joins a group of large viruses known as nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV), although this term appears increasingly inappropriate to designate viruses replicating entirely within the cytoplasm of their hosts through the de novo synthesis of large virion factories. Megavirus and Mimivirus share 594 orthologous genes, mostly located within the center segment of their genomes. At the amino-acid sequence level, the corresponding proteins share an average of 50% identical residues.[بحاجة لمصدر]

الجينوم

جينوم الميجا فيروس هو جزيء خطي ذو طاقين من الحمض النووي الريبوزي منقوص الأوكسجين ، يمتلك 1,259,197 زوج من القواعد النتيروجينية. وبالتالي يصبح هو اكبر جينوم فيروسي حتى الآن حيث يتفوق على ثاني اكبر جينوم فيروسي الا وهو ماما فيروس ب 67,500 زوج من القواعد.

The Megavirus chilensis genome is a linear, double-stranded molecule of DNA with 1,259,197 base pairs in length. This makes it the largest viral genome deciphered so far, outstripping the next-largest virus genome of Mamavirus by 67.5 kb. Prior validation of its transcriptome, it is predicted to encode 1,120 protein-coding genes, a number largely above the one exhibited by many bacteria.[بحاجة لمصدر]

However, beyond an incremental change in size, the Megavirus genome exhibits 7 aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (Table 2), the archetypes of enzymes previously thought only to be encoded by cellular organisms. While 4 of these enzymes were already present in Mimivirus and Mamavirus (for tyrosine, arginine, cysteine, and methionine), Megavirus is exhibiting three more 3 (for tryptophane, asparagine, and isoleucine). Interestingly, the unique aminoacyltRNA synthetase encoded by Cafeteria roenbergensis virus corresponds to the one for isoleucine. Megavirus also encodes a fused version of the mismatch DNA repair enzyme MutS, uniquely similar to the one found in the mitochondrion of octocorals. This puzzling MutS version appears to be a trademark of the Megaviridae family.[3] Like Mimivirus and CroV, Megavirus contains many genes for sugar, lipid and amino acid processing, as well as some metabolic genes not found in any other virus.[4]

Megavirus replication stages closely follows the one already described for Mimivirus. Following rapid engulfing by phagocytosis, and the delivery of the particle core to the cytoplasm, begins the eclipse phase. A closer examination indicates the presence of cytoplasmic “seeds”, of sizes comparable to the most internal membrane-enclosed core of the Megavirus particle. These seeds then develop in full bloomed virion factory over the following 14 hours. The full course of infection (until the complete lysis of the amoebal cells) takes 17h in average, compared to 12 h for Mimivirus. The average number of released Megavirus particles (i.e. the “burst size”) is about half the thousand produced by Mimivirus.[بحاجة لمصدر]

As expected from a virus encoding its own complete DNA replication, repair, and transcription machinery, the host nucleus does not appear to be involved in any of Megavirus replication stages, as already seen for Mimivirus.[بحاجة لمصدر]

تأثيرات الاكتشاف

Two Megavirus specific features are of fundamental importance. First, even if its new record-sized genome only represent a small 6% increment compared to the second largest Mamavirus genome, it indicates that we have not yet reached the limit of viral genome sizes, and that even more complex viruses may remain to be discovered,[بحاجة لمصدر] most likely in aquatic environment, the viral diversity of which has been barely scratched by recent metagenomic studies.[بحاجة لمصدر]

Second, the presence of three additional aminoacyltRNA synthetases in the Megavirus genome, with a total of seven, definitely rules out their independent acquisition by lateral transfer from a host.[بحاجة لمصدر] In addition, the phylogenic analysis of their amino acid sequences does not cluster them with any known protozoan clade, but rather connect them deeply to eukaryotic domain.[بحاجة لمصدر]

The conclusion then becomes inescapable that the genome of these giant viruses originated from an ancestral cellular genome (thus endowed of a translation apparatus, with all 20 aminoacyl tRNA synthetases) from which today’s Megaviridae derived by a number of lineage specific genome reduction events, a scenario akin to the one followed by all parasitic organisms. As indicated by the deep rooting of their phylogeny, the Megaviridae lineage might be very old, eventually predating the emergence of modern eukaryotes, or be contemporary and/or linked to the emergence of the nucleus. 5 Alternatively, it could be derived from an extinct cellular domain (the controversial 4th domain of the Tree of Life[5]), many genes of which would have managed to persist in today’s giant viral genomes.[بحاجة لمصدر]
