The " Organic Lake Virophage " (scientifically " Organic Lake virophage ", OLV ) is a double-stranded DNA virophage , i. H. a virus that requires the presence of another virus ( helper virus ) to replicate, thereby limiting the ability of that other virus to replicate. It was detected metagenomically in samples from the Organic Lake in Antarctica .

As of March 2019, the OLV is not registered by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) understands the OLV as an unconfirmed virus species in the family Lavidaviridae , which also includes the ICTV-confirmed genera Sputnikvirus (with the species Sputnik virophage and Zamilona virophage ) and Mavirus .

construction

The virions (virus particles) of OLV appear to have a diameter of approx. 100  nm and to be enveloped. The genome consists of double-stranded DNA and is 26,421 bp in length  . It codes for 38 proteins . These include the envelope protein ( english major coat protein ), a DNA Packaging- ATPase , a putative DNA polymerase / primase and N6 adenine -specific DNA methyltransferase .

Multiplication

OLV probably parasitizes organic lake phycodnaviruses (OLPV), which belong less to the Phycodnaviridae than to the extended Mimiviridae (i.e. the order Imitervirales ) (group III: proposed sister family “ Mesomimiviridae ” around the “ OLPG ” group).

Systematics

For the classification of Lavidaviridae with OLV, Sputnik virus (with Sputnik - and Zamilon -Virophagen), " Yellowstone Lake Virophage 1 " to " 7 " (YSLV1 to YSLV7) and " Dishui Lake Virophage 1 " were (DSLV1) Various Suggestions made, for example by Gong et al. (2016), Fig. 5, or from Krupovic et al. (2016), Fig. 4.
