PD-Lambda-3

Description

PD-Lambda-3 systems were discovered to be anti-phage systems during an experimental screen performed on E.coli (N/A)

Molecular mechanisms

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

Example of genomic structure

The PD-Lambda-3 is composed of 2 proteins: PD-Lambda-3_A and PD-Lambda-3_B.

Here is an example found in the RefSeq database:

The PD-Lambda-3 system in Enterobacter sp. CRENT-193 (GCF_002787395.1, NZ_CP024812) is composed of 2 proteins PD-Lambda-3_A (WP_001542736.1) PD-Lambda-3_B (WP_039268887.1)
