Abstract：
:Mimivirus' genome includes parts of 5S, 16S and 23S ribosomal RNAs encoded by Acanthamoeba's mitogenome, the giant virus' host. Two non-exclusive hypotheses for rRNA remnants in giant viruses are examined: 1. mitogenomes invade viral genomes as they do for nuclear chromosomes (producing numts); 2. megaviral genomes evolved from an ancestral mitogenome. Alignment analyses confirm mitochondrial, rather than alphaproteobacterial origins of megaviral rRNAs. Other mitogenes have likely megaviral homologues. These megaviral homologues coevolve to much larger extents than candidate rRNA homologues, suggesting rRNA decay in viruses. Megaviral mitogene homologues overall follow mitochondrial gene order, suggesting mitogenome ancestry. Ancestral synteny decreases with megaviral genome size, suggesting that subsequent mitogene insertions blur ancestral gene order. Putative defenses against DNA invasion conserve mitogene order in short megaviral genomes. Synteny between mitogenome and megaviral genomes confirms the RNA/DNA polymerase-homologies-based hypothesis that giant viruses have mitochondrial-like ancestors, viral rRNA remnants are corollary of mitogenomic origins of megaviral genomes. Note that giant viruses, mitochondria and bacterial spores all have double membranes, spores and viruses have protein coats. Mitochondria might occasionally form spore-like structures that drifted into megaviruses. These missing links could confirm mitogenome ancestry of giant viruses rather than giant virus ancestry of mitochondria.
