PD-T4-6
Description
The PD-T4-6 system is composed of a single protein. It was discovered via a selection screening of 71 E. coli strains challenged with diverse phage. The name stands from Phage Defense (PD) and the phage with which the strain was challenged (T4) (N/A) . The system has been identified as an Abortive Infection (Abi) system (N/A, N/A) . The protein was found within a P2-like prophage and contains a predicted Der/Thr kinase domain. Site-specific mutation in the domain reduces phage protection (N/A) .
Molecular mechanisms
As far as we are aware, the molecular mechanism is unknown.
Example of genomic structure
The PD-T4-6 is composed of 1 protein: PD-T4-6.
Here is an example found in the RefSeq database:
The PD-T4-6 system in Streptococcus ruminantium (GCF_021654555.1, NZ_AP025333) is composed of 1 protein: PD-T4-6 (WP_024532776.1)
