AbiO
Description
AbiO is a single gene defense system discovered in 1998 (N/A) .
AbiO 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) . Even though, their name corresponds to an abortive infection, their mechanism of action does not necessarily correspond to an abortive infection. AbiO is classified as a possible Abortive infection in (N/A) .
This system is only composed of one single gene containing a helicase domain.
Molecular mechanism
As far as we are aware, the molecular mechanism is unknown.
Example of genomic structure
The AbiO is composed of 1 protein: AbiO.
Here is an example found in the RefSeq database:
The AbiO system in Pantoea agglomerans (GCF_004117135.1, NZ_CP034477) is composed of 1 protein: AbiO (WP_129063585.1)
