• Gemini viridae is a family of plant viruses that encode their genetic information on a circular genome of single-stranded (ss) DNA. (primescholarslibrary.org)
  • It is the most important known family of single stranded DNA viruses. (primescholarslibrary.org)
  • The Gemini viruses are a family of small, non-enveloped viruses with genomes comprising one or two single-stranded, circular DNAs of 2.5-5.2 kb. (primescholarslibrary.org)
  • Typical of all mastreviruses, MSV's circular, ~2.7-Kb monopartite single-stranded (ss) DNA genome encodes only four proteins. (wikipedia.org)
  • Gemini virus encoded proteins interact with host proteins to perform a variety of functions which include reprogramming of cell cycle, inhibition of cell death pathways, transcriptional control of multiple genes, interference with cell signalling pathways and overcoming host defense response. (primescholarslibrary.org)
  • Due to genome size restrictions, MSV usurps host DNA replication and double-stranded DNA break repair proteins to replicate its genome via, respectively, rolling-circle and recombination-dependent mechanisms. (wikipedia.org)
  • In animals, CDK inhibitors are tightly regulated, especially by posttranslational mechanisms of which control of nuclear access and regulation of protein turnover are particularly important. (uni-bielefeld.de)
