The yeast family recently became recognized for expanding of the repertoire of different dsRNA-based viruses, highlighting the need for understanding of their cross-dependence. We isolated the AML-15-66 killer strain from spontaneous fermentation of serviceberries and identified helper and satellite viruses of the family , which are responsible for the killing phenotype. The corresponding full dsRNA genomes of viruses have been cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis of SpV-LA-66 identified it to be most similar to LA-28 type viruses, while SpV-M66 was mostly similar to the SpV-M21 virus. Sequence and functional analysis revealed significant differences between the K66 and the K28 toxins. The structural organization of the K66 protein resembled those of the K1/K2 type toxins. The AML-15-66 strain possesses the most expressed killing property towards the K28 toxin-producing strain. A genetic screen performed on YKO library strains revealed 125 gene products important for the functioning of the K66 toxin, with 85% of the discovered modulators shared with K2 or K1 toxins. Investigation of the K66 protein binding to cells and different polysaccharides implies the β-1,6 glucans to be the primary receptors of K66 toxin. For the first time, we demonstrated the coherent habitation of different types of helper and satellite viruses in a wild-type strain.

Begomoviruses, transmitted by the whitefly , pose significant threats to global agriculture due to their severe impact on various crops. Among the satellite molecules associated with begomoviruses, betasatellites play a crucial role in enhancing disease severity and yield losses. The spread and association of these molecules with helper viruses in host plants are thus matters of concern.

Satellite RNAs (satRNAs) are RNA molecules associated with many plant viruses and fully dependent on them for replication, encapsidation, and movement within the plant or transmission from plant to plant. Their classification is based on their length, functional protein-coding capacity, and RNA structure (whether linear or circular). They have been of interest for a long time as some of them, in particular systems, cause significant changes in the pathogenesis and epidemiology of plant viruses.

Article Synopsis
- The human hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a satellite virus that relies on hepatitis B virus (HBV) proteins for its assembly and targets the liver, and recent bioinformatics research has clarified its evolutionary origins and complexity.
- This study examines three mammalian HDV-like agents (DLAs) discovered in woodchuck, white-tailed deer, and lesser dog-like bat, focusing on their replication and ability to spread in various cell types.
- Findings indicate that these DLAs can replicate independently in both liver and non-liver tissues without needing helper virus envelope proteins, and their interactions with HBV proteins can lead to the formation of infectious particles for further study.

In this paper, the characteristics of 40 so far described virophages-parasites of giant viruses-are given, and the similarities and differences between virophages and satellite viruses, which also, like virophages, require helper viruses for replication, are described. The replication of virophages taking place at a specific site-the viral particle factory of giant viruses-and its consequences are presented, and the defence mechanisms of virophages for giant virus hosts, as a protective action for giant virus hosts-protozoa and algae-are approximated. The defence systems of giant viruses against virophages were also presented, which are similar to the CRISPR/Cas defence system found in bacteria and in Archea.

We report the discovery of a satellite-helper phage system with a novel type of dependence on a tail donor. The satellite podovirus Aci01-2-Phanie (short name Phanie) uses a phage phi29-like DNA replication and packaging mode. Its linear 11,885 bp dsDNA genome bears 171 bp inverted terminal repeats (ITR).
