Title: Recombinant expression of Mimivirus L725 ORFan gene product | ||
Author: H. SOBHY, G. GOTTHARD, E. CHABRIÈRE, D. RAOULT, P. COLSON | ||
Abstract: Mimivirus was the first discovered amoebal giant virus. The Mimivirus virions are covered by a dense layer of approximately 130 nm-long fibers, the length and shape of which diverge from those of other viruses. Here, we aimed at expressing the L725 protein to further confirm and study its role as a fiber-associated protein. We report Escherichia coli expression of the L725 protein, which is encoded by a Mimivirus ORFan, was previously identified by proteomics in purified viral fibers and demonstrated to be a fiber-associated protein by RNA-silencing experiments. The expressed protein was recognized by anti-Mimivirus fiber or anti-Mimivirus L725 polyclonal antibodies. This study is the only expression, to our knowledge, of a product from a Mimiviral ORFan gene. |
