These viruses typically do not strongly depend on the host DNA replication systems. In line with this observation, a number of essential DNA replication proteins, such as DNA polymerases, primases, helicases and ligases, have been identified in the NCLDVs. One other ubiquitous component of DNA replisomes is the single-stranded DNA-binding (SSB) protein. Intriguingly, no NCLDV homologs of canonical OB-fold-containing SSB proteins had previously been detected. Only in poxviruses, one of seven NCLDV families, I3 was identified as the SSB protein. However, whether I3 is related to any known protein structure has not yet been established.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Here, we addressed the case of \u2018missing\u2019 canonical SSB proteins in the NCLDVs and also probed evolutionary origins of the I3 family. Using advanced computational methods, in four NCLDV families, we detected homologs of the bacteriophage T7 SSB protein (gp2.5). We found the properties of these homologs to be consistent with the SSB function. Moreover, we implicated specific residues in single-stranded DNA binding. At the same time, we found no evolutionary link between the T7 gp2.5-like NCLDV SSB homologs and the poxviral SSB protein (I3). Instead, we identified a distant relationship between I3 and small protein B (SmpB), a bacterial RNA-binding protein. Thus, apparently, the NCLDVs have the two major distinct sets of SSB proteins having bacteriophage and bacterial origins, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0venclovas@ibt.lt<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bts626","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,25]],"date-time":"2012-10-25T00:56:29Z","timestamp":1351126589000},"page":"3186-3190","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Two distinct SSB protein families in nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Darius","family":"Kazlauskas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biotechnology, Vilnius University, LT-02241 Vilnius, Lithuania"}]},{"given":"\u010ceslovas","family":"Venclovas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biotechnology, Vilnius University, LT-02241 Vilnius, Lithuania"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012513252522700_bts626-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3389","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/25.17.3389","article-title":"Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs","volume":"25","author":"Altschul","year":"1997","journal-title":"Nucleic Acids Res."},{"key":"2023012513252522700_bts626-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1855","DOI":"10.1093\/emboj\/21.7.1855","article-title":"Structure of the RPA trimerization core and its role in the multistep DNA-binding mechanism of RPA","volume":"21","author":"Bochkareva","year":"2002","journal-title":"EMBO J."},{"key":"2023012513252522700_bts626-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"21848","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0911354106","article-title":"Giant Marseillevirus highlights the role of amoebae as a melting pot in emergence of chimeric microorganisms","volume":"106","author":"Boyer","year":"2009","journal-title":"Proc.
