Gao_Mza
Contributors: Hugo Vaysset
Description
Mza (MutL, Z1, DUF, AIPR) is a defense system composed of five proteins. Its antiphage activity was assessed by heterologous expression in E. coli against phages T2, T4, T5, lambda and M13 (ssDNA phage) (N/A) .
Molecular mechanism
As far as we are aware, the molecular mechanism is unknown.
Example of genomic structure
The Gao_Mza is composed of 5 proteins: MzaA, MzaB, MzaC, MzaD and MzaE.
