Olokun
Description
The system Olokun is composed of 2 genes OloA (Adaptin_N domain) and OloB (nuclease domain) of unknown function. This system was experimentally validated in Escherichia coli and protects against LambdaVir and SECphi27 infection.
The system is named after a revered deity of the Yoruba religion, associated with the deep sea and depicted as an enormously powerful figure. They are believed to possess immense wealth, are associated with health, fertility and prosperity, and are revered for their ability to induce profound transformation and renewal. They are frequently depicted as a mermaid or mermen, with both masculine and feminine aspects, reflecting the diversity and depth of the ocean.
Molecular mechanisms
To our knowledge, the molecular mechanism is unknown. Please update.
