The amoeba-infecting Mimivirus is the largest known double-stranded DNA virus, with a 400 nm particle size, comparable to that of mycoplasma. The complete sequence of its 1.2 Mbp genome has recently been determined [Raoult et al. (2004), Science, 306, 1344-1350] and revealed numerous genes that were not expected to be found in a virus, such as genes encoding translation components, including 4-amino-acyl tRNA synthetases and homologues to various translation initiation, elongation and terminatio ...[more]
