Genomic and Proteomic Analyses Indicate that Banchine and Campoplegine Polydnaviruses Have Similar, if Not Identical, Viral Ancestors.
UNLABELLED Polydnaviruses form a group of unconventional double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses transmitted by endoparasitic wasps during egg laying into caterpillar hosts, where viral gene expression is essential to immature wasp survival. A copy of the viral genome is present in wasp chromosomes, thus ensuring vertical transmission. Polydnaviruses comprise two taxa, Bracovirus and Ichnovirus, sh...

متن کاملPhylogenomic Analyses Indicate that Early Fungi Evolved Digesting Cell Walls of Algal Ancestors of Land Plants
As decomposers, fungi are key players in recycling plant material in global carbon cycles. We hypothesized that genomes of early diverging fungi may have inherited pectinases from an ancestral species that had been able to extract nutrients from pectin-containing land plants and their algal allies (Streptophytes). We aimed to infer, based on pectinase gene expansions and on the organismal phylo...
متن کاملMutualistic Polydnaviruses Share Essential Replication Gene Functions with Pathogenic Ancestors
Viruses are usually thought to form parasitic associations with hosts, but all members of the family Polydnaviridae are obligate mutualists of insects called parasitoid wasps. Phylogenetic data founded on sequence comparisons of viral genes indicate that polydnaviruses in the genus Bracovirus (BV) are closely related to pathogenic nudiviruses and baculoviruses. However, pronounced differences i...
متن کامل‘Similar To’ Is Not ‘Identical With’, and ‘Identical With’ Is Not ‘The Same As’
Presently, we have a large number of botulinum neuro-toxins (BoNTs) at our disposal, but in the western hemisphere these are limited almost exclusively to the botulinum toxin A preparations: Abo-(ABO), inco-(INCO), and onabotulinumtoxinA (ONA). Because these are biological preparations, they are never identical to each other, but they are, at most, similar to each other. Their efficacy has been...
