Phage terminase recognition by the bacterial immune sensors Avs2 and Upx - Nature Communications

Direct recognition of viral proteins is key to bacterial immunity. Here, Evans et al. uncover the mechanisms used by two distinct defense proteins to detect the phage DNA packaging motor mechanisms: b...

🦠🧬Immune recognition is far more universal than we thought! Our new Nature paper uncovers ≥ 90 families of bacterial immune receptors that senses conserved phage proteins—and reveals how Avs7 repurposes abundant, essential protein EF-Tu to assemble an antiviral immune complex.
