Natural history of eukaryotic DNA viruses with double jelly-roll major capsid proteins

Résumé

The phylum Preplasmiviricota (kingdom Bamfordvirae , realm Varidnaviria ) is a broad assemblage of diverse viruses with comparatively short double-stranded DNA genomes (<50 kbp) that produce icosahedral capsids built from double jelly-roll major capsid proteins. Preplasmiviricots infect hosts from all cellular domains, testifying to their ancient origin, and, in particular, are associated with six of the seven supergroups of eukaryotes. Preplasmiviricots comprise four major groups of viruses, namely, polintons, polinton-like viruses (PLVs), virophages, and adenovirids. We used protein structure modeling and analysis to show that protein-primed DNA polymerases (pPolBs) of polintons, virophages, and cytoplasmic linear plasmids encompass an N-terminal domain homologous to the terminal proteins (TPs) of prokaryotic PRD1-like tectivirids and eukaryotic adenovirids that are involved in protein-primed replication initiation, followed by a viral ovarian tumor–like cysteine deubiquitinylase (vOTU) domain. The vOTU domain is likely responsible for the cleavage of the TP from the large pPolB polypeptide and is inactivated in adenovirids, in which TP is a separate protein. Many PLVs and transpovirons encode a distinct derivative of polinton-like pPolB that retains the TP, vOTU, and pPolB polymerization palm domains but lacks the exonuclease domain and instead contains a superfamily 1 helicase domain. Analysis of the presence/absence and inactivation of the vOTU domains and replacement of pPolB with other DNA polymerases in eukaryotic preplasmiviricots enabled us to outline a complete scenario for their origin and evolution.
