Host-virus interactions remain poorly understood in archaea, whose information processing systems harbor a mosaic of bacterial and eukaryotic features. Here, we used complementary multiomics to investigate interactions between Haloferax tailed virus 1 (HFTV1) and the halophilic archaeon Haloferax gibbonsii (Hg), capturing global translational and transcriptional dynamics across the infection cycle. This revealed co-regulatory expression patterns across HFTV1 and Hg genes. Post-transcriptional regulation was observed for several early HFTV1 genes and the late HFTV1 gene gp17, and the HFTV1 tRNA co-sedimented with Hg ribosome complexes. Infection reshaped the translational landscape of Hg, causing a slow decline in information processing activity, a complex transcriptional response, and amino acid starvation. An unannotated Tat-dependent fimbrial system of Hg was co-regulated with early HFTV1 genes and was correlated with increased biofilm formation, suggesting a potential antiviral defense system. These findings provide high-resolution insight into archaeal host-virus interactions at the evolutionary interface between bacteria and eukaryotes.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
