Molecular evidence for the evolution of ichnoviruses from ascoviruses by symbiogenesis (2008)

Bigot, Yves, Samain, Sylvie, Augé-Gouillou, Corinne, Federici, Brian A

Abstract Background Female endoparasitic ichneumonid wasps inject virus-like particles into their caterpillar hosts to suppress immunity. These particles are classified as ichnovirus virions and...

Assembly of the mariner Mos1 Synaptic Complex

Augé-Gouillou, Corinne, Brillet, Benjamin, Hamelin, Marie-Hélène, Bigot, Yves

The mobility of transposable elements via a cut-and-paste mechanism depends on the elaboration of a nucleoprotein complex known as the synaptic complex. We show here that the Mos1 synaptic complex...

A viral caspase contributes to modified apoptosis for virus transmission

Bideshi, Dennis K., Tan, Yeping, Bigot, Yves, Federici, Brian A.

The Spodoptera frugiperda ascovirus, a DNA virus that attacks lepidopterans, codes for an executioner caspase synthesized by 9 h after infection of Sf21 cells. This caspase alone induces apoptosis in...

Genomic Sequence of Spodoptera frugiperda Ascovirus 1a, an Enveloped, Double-Stranded DNA Insect Virus That Manipulates Apoptosis for Viral Reproduction▿

Bideshi, Dennis K., Demattei, Marie-Véronique, Rouleux-Bonnin, Florence, Stasiak, Karine, Tan, Yeping, Bigot, Sylvie, ...

Ascoviruses (family Ascoviridae) are double-stranded DNA viruses with circular genomes that attack lepidopterans, where they produce large, enveloped virions, 150 by 400 nm, and cause a chronic,...

The Human SETMAR Protein Preserves Most of the Activities of the Ancestral Hsmar1 Transposase▿ §

Liu, Danxu, Bischerour, Julien, Siddique, Azeem, Buisine, Nicolas, Bigot, Yves, Chalmers, Ronald

Transposons have contributed protein coding sequences to a unexpectedly large number of human genes. Except for the V(D)J recombinase and telomerase, all remain of unknown function. Here we...
