Origins of <i>cin</i> : Lateral Gene Transfer of Cytoplasmic Incompatibility Nuclease Operon to <i>Orientia tsutsugamushi</i>

2025-03-10

Abstract excerpt

CinB nucleases are Wolbachia proteins that induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) through tandem nuclease domains nuc 1 and nuc 2 1 . CI is a form of reproductive parasitism (RP) whereby males are conditionally sterilized 2 . The system behaves as a toxin-antidote (TA) system 1–8 where operon gene cinA encodes an antidote and gene cinB encodes a toxin 1,5 . Cin operons are purportedly the cause of gene-dr...
