Megaviruses contain various genes encoding for eukaryotic vesicle trafficking factors

Description

Giant viruses enter their eukaryotic host cells by phagocytosis. For reproduction, they hijack the host cell’s membranes  of the host cell by an unknown mechanism. Here, we found that giant viruses express several core factors of the eukaryotic vesicle fusion machinery, including SNARE, Rab, SM proteins, and the disassembly protein NSF.
