The novel anti-phage system Shield co-opts an RmuC domain to mediate phage defense across Pseudomonas species.

The novel anti-phage system Shield co-opts an RmuC domain to mediate phage defense across Pseudomonas species.

Competitive bacteria-bacteriophage interactions have resulted in the evolution of a plethora of bacterial defense systems preventing phage propagation. In recent years, computational and bioinformatic approaches have underpinned the discovery of numerous novel bacterial defense systems. Anti-phage s...
