Abstract excerpt
The intense arms race between bacteria and phages has led to the development of diverse antiphage defense systems in bacteria. Unlike well-known restriction-modification and CRISPR-Cas systems, recently discovered systems are poorly characterized. One such system is the Thoeris defense system, which consists of two genes, thsA and thsB. Here, we report structural and functional analyses of ThsA and ThsB. ThsA...
