Butters_gp57r
Description
The Butters_gp57r system is encoded in the Butters mycobacterium prophage and has been shown to inhibit rival phage replication YP_009304936.1.
Molecular Mechanism
Butters_gp57r is activated post-DNA injeciton and inhibits island3 and other phage DNA amplification. This system may inhibit heterotypic phage infeciton with the HEPN domain YP_009304936.1.
Example of genomic structure
The Butters_gp57r is composed of 1 protein: gp57r.
Here is an example found in the RefSeq database:
The Butters_gp57r system in Mycobacteroides immunogenum (GCF_001605725.1, NZ_CP011530) is composed of 1 protein: gp57r (WP_043080133.1)
