Description
This defense system is composed of one gene referred to as TmtA. This system is widespread across diverse prokaryotic phyla and was experimentally validated in Escherichia coli (confers protection against phages T6 and T5).
Molecular mechanism
To our knowledge the molecular mechanism is unknown. Please update.
