Menshen

Contributors: Alba Herrero del Valle

Description

The Menshen system has been identified by Millman et al. as a three-protein system NsnA, NsnB and NsnC. Menshen from Solibacillus silvestris StLB046 confers resistance in E. coli and B. subtilis against some phages (N/A) .

Molecular mechanism

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

Example of genomic structure

The Menshen is composed of 3 proteins: NsnA, NsnB and NsnC.

Here is an example found in the RefSeq database:

The Menshen system in Streptomyces marincola (GCF_020410765.1, NZ_CP084541) is composed of 3 proteins NsnA (WP_226077564.1) NsnB (WP_226077566.1) NsnC_2507451963 (WP_226077568.1)

Distribution of the system among prokaryotes

Among the NaN complete genomes of RefSeq, the Menshen is detected in NaN genomes (NaN %). The system was detected in NaN different species.
