Phage-Defense Systems Are Unlikely to Cause Cell Suicide
As new phage-defense systems (PDs) are discovered, the overlap between their mechanisms and those of toxin/antitoxin systems (TAs) is becoming clear in that both use similar means to reduce cellular metabolism; for example, both systems have members that deplete energetic compounds (e.g., NAD<sup...
