实验人员对比其它病毒后发现,Tupanvirus不仅包含了参与蛋白质组装的最大的基因集,而且拥有将所有20种氨基酸组装成蛋白质所需要的基因。但是,这20种基因的起源目前仍未可知。Tupanvirus基因组转译相关的因子虽然还需要深入研究,但是Tupanvirus的发现意味着人们向...
Here we describe a new kind of virus-host interaction involving tupanvirus. We observed that tupanvirus-infected amoebas were induced to aggregate with uninfected cells, promoting viral dissemination and forming giant host cell bunches. Even after mechanical breakdown of bunches, amoebas reaggregated...
