Proteins with a metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) fold have been largely studied in bacteria in the framework of resistance to beta-lactams, but their spectrum of activities is broader. We show here that the giant Tupanvirus also encodes a MBL fold-protein that has orthologs in other giant viruses, a deep phylogenetic root and is clustered with tRNases. This protein is significantly associated with translation components in giant viruses. After expression in Escherichia coli, it was found to hydrolyse nitrocefin, a beta-lactam, and penicilli
