Molecular characterization of pHRDV1, a new virus-like mobile genetic element closely related to pleomorphic viruses in haloarchaea
Abstract
A novel haloarchaeal plasmid, pHRDV1 (13,053 bp), was isolated from the haloarchaeal isolate Halorubrum sp. T3. Molecular and bioinformatics analyses showed that this element is a double-stranded circular DNA molecule containing two putative transcripts with opposite directions. The amino acid sequences of six of the nineteen predicted open reading frames were similar to those found in haloarchaeal pleomorphic viruses, such as Halorubrum …
