FS_HsdR_like

Contributors: Florian Tesson

Description

FS_HsdR_like or HsdR_like was discovered in 2022 (N/A) inside the PICI KpCIC51 in Klebsiella pneumoniae.

The HsdR_like system is also effective for blocking conjugation.

The HsdR_like system is composed of tree genes. The first protein encodes a DUF6731 domain and is named after it. A hypothetical protein and the HsdR protein with an N terminal HEPN domain and C terminal Zn finger domain.

Molecular mechanism

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

Example of genomic structure

The FS_HsdR_like is composed of 3 proteins: HdrR, DUF6731 and HP.

Here is an example found in the RefSeq database:

The FS_HsdR_like system in Klebsiella pneumoniae (GCF_009661415.2, NZ_CP062997) is composed of 3 proteins DUF6731 (WP_048981062.1) HP (WP_048981064.1) HdrR (WP_153928365.1)
