დავით ფრანგიშვილი David Prangishvili დავით ფრანგიშვილი კონფერენციის სამეცნიერო კომიტეტის თავმჯდომარე, პასტერის ინსტიტუტი, საფრანგეთი David Prangishvili Institut Pasteur, Paris, France David Prangishvili gained a Master of Science degree in 1971 at Tbilisi State University, Georgia, and a PhD (1977) and Habilitation (1989) from Institute of Molecular Biology of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Moscow. He pioneered research on Archaea, the third domain of life, in the USSR and in 1986-1991 was a head of the department of Molecular Biology of Archaea at the Georgian Academy of Sciences, Tbilisi. In 1991-2004 he has worked in Germany, at Max- Planck Institute for Biochemistry and at Regensburg University. Since 2004 he is working at the Pasteur Institute of Paris. David Prangishvili received a prize of Council of Ministers of the USSR for Excellence in Science and Technology in 1989. David Prangishvili has been elected Member of the Academia Europaea (2018), Member of the European Academy of Microbiology (2015), Foreign Member of the Georgian National Academy of Sciences (2011), visiting professor of Chinese Academy of Sciences (2015). David Prangishvili has affected the field of prokaryotic virology by the discovery and description of many new species and families of DNA viruses which infect Archaea,[1][2] encompassing families Ampullaviridae, Bicaudaviridae, Clavaviridae, Globuloviridae, Guttaviridae, Spiraviridae (6) Tristroma viridae, and Portogloboviridae and the order Ligamenvirales (families Rudiviridae and Lipothrixviridae). He is an author of more than 180 publications in scientific journals and books:135 original papers, 49 book chapters and reviews, 1 book. Prangishvili’s studies have helped to reveal that DNA viruses of Archaea constitute a distinctive part of the viral world and that Archaea can be infected by viruses with a variety of unusual morphologies which have not been observed among viruses from the other two domains of life, Bacteria and Eukarya. The results of his research provide new perspectives concerning the diversity and evolution of viruses and virus-host interactions. .

  • Identification of Capsid/Coat Related Protein Folds and Their Utility for Virus Classification
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH published: 10 March 2017 doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2017.00380 Identification of Capsid/Coat Related Protein Folds and Their Utility for Virus Classification Arshan Nasir 1, 2 and Gustavo Caetano-Anollés 1* 1 Department of Crop Sciences, Evolutionary Bioinformatics Laboratory, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, USA, 2 Department of Biosciences, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan The viral supergroup includes the entire collection of known and unknown viruses that roam our planet and infect life forms. The supergroup is remarkably diverse both in its genetics and morphology and has historically remained difficult to study and classify. The accumulation of protein structure data in the past few years now provides an excellent opportunity to re-examine the classification and evolution of viruses. Here we scan completely sequenced viral proteomes from all genome types and identify protein folds involved in the formation of viral capsids and virion architectures. Viruses encoding similar capsid/coat related folds were pooled into lineages, after benchmarking against published literature. Remarkably, the in silico exercise reproduced all previously described members of known structure-based viral lineages, along with several proposals for new Edited by: additions, suggesting it could be a useful supplement to experimental approaches and Ricardo Flores, to aid qualitative assessment of viral diversity in metagenome samples.

  • The Common Ancestor of Archaea and Eukarya Was Not an Archaeon

It is often assumed that eukarya originated from archaea. This view has been recently supported by phylogenetic analyses in which eukarya are nested within archaea. Here, I argue that these analyses are not reliable, and I critically discuss archaeal ancestor scenarios, as well as fusion scenarios for the origin of eukaryotes. Based on recognized evolutionary trends toward reduction in archaea and toward complexity in eukarya, I suggest that their last common ancestor was more complex than modern archaea but simpler than modern eukaryotes (the bug in-between scenario). I propose that the ancestors of archaea (and bacteria) escaped protoeukaryotic predators by invading high temperature biotopes, triggering their reductive evolution toward the “prokaryotic” phenotype (the thermoreduction hypothesis). Intriguingly, whereas archaea and eukarya share many basic features at the molecular level, the archaeal mobilome resembles more the bacterial than the eukaryotic one.

  • Abstract Straub, Christopher Thomas
    ABSTRACT STRAUB, CHRISTOPHER THOMAS. Metabolic Engineering of Extreme Thermophiles for Conversion of Renewable Feedstocks to Industrial Chemicals (Under the direction of Dr. Robert M. Kelly.) Extremely thermophilic microorganisms (Topt 70°C) challenge assumptions about the origins and limits of life. The diverse and specialized biological machinery, mechanisms, and systems utilized by these microorganisms ensure that these bacteria and archaea thrive in extreme thermal environments. These facets can be exploited for contributions to biotechnology in the pursuit of renewable, sustainable, and environmentally compatible solutions to needs for energy and materials. Caldicellulosiruptor bescii is an anaerobic bacterium that was isolated from thermal hot springs. It grows optimally at 78°C (172°F) on plant matter that has washed into the hot springs in which it resides. C. bescii natively deconstructs and ferments the cellulose and hemi-cellulose primarily to acetate, CO2 and H2. C. bescii has previously been shown to utilize approximately 30% of the available carbohydrate content in biomass, limited by the complex network of lignocellulosic biomass. However, by implementation of a mild sodium hydroxide pretreatment, C. bescii metabolized 70% of the carbohydrate content of pretreated switchgrass. Wild-type and transgenic black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) were also evaluated as feedstocks for C. bescii conversion. With milled wild-type poplar, C. bescii converted only 25% of the carbohydrate content, in contrast to nearly 90% of the carbohydrate content of a low lignin transgenic line created by down-regulation of the coumarate-3-hydroxylase (C3H3) gene. Furthermore, when entire stem samples of the transgenic line were utilized without milling, C. bescii solubilized over 50% of the feedstock, which has important biotechnological and economic consequences.

Spindle Shaped Virus (SSV): Mutants and Their Infectivity by Thien Hoang An undergraduate honors thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in University Honors and Biology: Micro/molecular biology Thesis Adviser Dr. Kenneth Stedman Portland State University 2014 Abstract: SSV1 is an archaeal virus that infects the thermoacidophile Sulfolobus residing in hot springs. The lemon shaped/spindle-shaped fuselloviruses (SSV) that infect Sulfolobus solfataricus is quite morphologically different from almost all other viruses. Because these archaeal viruses live in hot springs with high temperatures and low pH, their genomes and structures have adapted to withstand such harsh conditions. Little research has been done on these extreme viruses, and of the little research, SSV has been the most prominent. Not much is known about the genes that the genome encodes and so I have inserted transposons randomly into genome to determine functionality.

Exploring the ecological relationships between viruses, hosts and the environment is a crucial rst step towards a deeper understanding of the complex and dynamic interplays among them. Results: Here, we obtained extensive 16S rRNA gene amplicon, metagenomics sequencing and geochemical datasets from different depths of two highly stratied sulphidic mine tailings cores with steep geochemical gradients especially pH, and explored how variations in viral community composition and functions were coupled to the co-existing prokaryotic assemblages and the varying environmental conditions. Our data showed that many viruses in the mine tailings represented novel genera, based on gene-sharing networks. Siphoviridae and Myoviridae dominated the classied viruses in the surface tailings and deeper layers, respectively.
