AbiN

Description

AbiN was discovered in Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris S114 in 1998 (N/A) .

AbiN is one of the so-called "Abi" systems for "Abortive infection" discovered in the 90's in research related to the dairy industry (N/A) . AbiN is classified as unknown for abortive infection phenotype in (N/A) .

AbiN is a single gene system composed of the protein AbiN.

Molecular mechanism

As far as we are aware, the molecular mechanism is unknown.

Example of genomic structure

The AbiN is composed of 1 protein: AbiN.

Here is an example found in the RefSeq database:

The AbiN system in Listeria innocua (GCF_023078395.1, NZ_CP095723) is composed of 1 protein: AbiN (WP_238929053.1)
