Rst_HelicaseDUF2290

Description

The Rst_HelicaseDUF2290 system was discovered during a screen for defense systems targeted at hotspots of antiphage activity in phages and phage-satellites. It is composed of 2 proteins, a helicase and a protein with the domain DUF2290.

Molecular mechanism

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

Example of genomic structure

The Rst_HelicaseDUF2290 is composed of 2 proteins: Helicase and DUF2290.
