Genome Property Definition Page
| Accession | GenProp1093 |
| Name | abortive infection proteins |
| Type | GUILD |
| Description | An abortive infection system is any system that interferes with the ability of a phage to replicate successfully after it has infected a prokaryotic cell. Mechanisms vary widely, and may include blockage of a specific step in phage replication, or else shutdown and/or death of the host cell. This Genome Property is designed as a guild for proteins that have been described in publications as abortive infection proteins and that do not belong to CRISPR or restriction enzyme systems. |
