in silico Analysis of Phycodnaviridae Tetrapyrrole Enzymes: Subcellular Localization and Functional Divergence from Host Homologs

Rationale Recent viral metagenomic studies have identified a plethora of enzyme-encoding genes in Phycodnaviridae viruses that are not strictly required for viral replication. These enzymes hold an unexpected metabolic potential during the infection process with their specific green algae host. As neither their role in the infection process nor the subcellular localization of these proteins has…
