Viruses of archaea represent one of the most enigmatic parts of the virosphere. Most of the
characterized archaeal viruses infect extremophilic hosts and display remarkable diversity of …

This review presents a personal account of research on archaeal viruses and describes
many new viral species and families, demonstrating that viruses of Archaea constitute a …

Since their discovery in the early 1980s, viruses that infect the third domain of life, the
Archaea, have captivated our attention because of their virions' unusual morphologies and …

Thermoacidophilic archaea belonging to the order Sulfolobales thrive in extreme biotopes,
such as sulfuric hot springs and ore deposits. These microorganisms have been model …

Archaeal viruses display unusually high genetic and morphological diversity. Studies of
these viruses proved to be instrumental for the expansion of knowledge on viral diversity …

Research on archaeal extrachromosomal genetic elements (ECEs) has progressed rapidly
in the past decade. To date, over 60 archaeal viruses and 60 plasmids have been isolated …

The Archaea—and their viruses—remain the most enigmatic of life's three domains. Once
thought to inhabit only extreme environments, archaea are now known to inhabit diverse …

Cell cycle regulation is crucial for all living organisms and is often targeted by viruses to
facilitate their own propagation, yet cell cycle progression control is largely underexplored in …

Fuselloviruses SSV1 and SSV2 are model systems to investigate virus–host relationships in
stably infected cells thanks to their temperate nature. Although they are very similar in …

For cellular fitness and survival, gene expression levels need to be regulated in response to
a wealth of cellular and environmental signals. TFs (transcription factors) execute a large …
