Contributors: Hugo Vaysset
Description
ApeA is a defense system composed of one protein, initially described as a member of the HEPN superfamily which groups proteins with nucleotide binding activity (CL0291).
ApeA is predicted to act via an abortive infection mechanism.
Molecular mechanism
As far as we are aware, the molecular mechanism is unknown.
Example of genomic structure
The Gao_Ape is composed of 1 protein: ApeA.
Here is an example found in the RefSeq database:
