Viral cystatin evolution and three-dimensional structure modelling: A case of directional selection acting on a viral protein involved in a host-parasitoid interaction

Céline Serbielle, Shafinaz Chowdhury, Samuel Pichon, Stéphane Dupas, Jérôme Lesobre, Enrico O Purisima, Jean-Michel Drezen, Elisabeth Huguet BMC Biology 2008, 6:38 (10 September 2008)

Parasitic wasps suppress the immune systems of their caterpillar hosts by injecting a polydnavirus, exposing the viral cystation virulence factors to strong selection and maintaining this complex tri-component system through such virus-host co-evolution.
