A Human Torque Teno Virus Encodes a MicroRNA That Inhibits Interferon Signaling
Torque teno viruses (TTVs) are a group of viruses with small, circular DNA genomes. Members of this family are thought to ubiquitously infect humans, although causal disease associations are currently lacking. At present, there is no understanding of how infection with this diverse group of viruses is so prevalent. Using a combined computational and synthetic approach, we predict and identify m...
متن کاملTorque teno virus: a ubiquitous virus
Torque teno virus (TTV) is a non-enveloped human DNA virus isolated by Nishizawa et al. in 1997.1 TTV, recently classified as the Alphatorquevirus genus within the Anelloviridae family by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), was the first human virus with a single-stranded circular DNA genome to be identified.2 Thus far, five main genetic groups (Groups 1–5) involving at l...

متن کاملTorque Teno Virus (TTV) Infection
TTV has been recently identified as a causative agent of non-A to non-G hepatitis. However, the exact role of this virus in the pathogenesis of chronic liver disease (CLD) and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain controversial. To clarify these issues, the prevalence of this virus and its impact on the severity of liver disease and development of HCC among Egyptian patients ...
متن کاملTorque teno virus is a human non-enveloped single- stranded circular DNA virus with icosahedral symmetry
Torque teno virus is a human non-enveloped singlestranded circular DNA virus with icosahedral symmetry and a particle size of approximately 30 nm. TTV was first characterised as a blood-borne virus and was initially referred to as transfusion-transmitted virus (Nishizawa et al. 1997). Its negative-sense genome is 3.6-3.9 kb in size (Mushahwar et al. 1999). Recently, it was renamed Torque teno v...
