Prokaryotic innate immunity through pattern recognition of conserved viral proteins by Gao, Linyi Alex, Wilkinson, Max E, Strecker, Jonathan, Makarova, Kira S, Macrae, Rhiannon K, Koonin, Eugene V, Zhang, Feng

“…Although the roles of NLRs in eukaryotic immunity are well established, it is unknown whether prokaryotes use similar defense mechanisms. Here, we show that antiviral STAND (Avs) homologs in bacteria and archaea detect hallmark viral proteins, triggering Avs tetramerization and the activation of diverse N-terminal effector domains, including DNA endonucleases, to abrogate infection. …”

The impact of long-distance horizontal gene transfer on prokaryotic genome size by Cordero Sanchez, Otto Xavier, Hogeweg, Paulien

“…Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is one of the most dominant forces molding prokaryotic gene repertoires. These repertoires can be as small as ≈200 genes in intracellular organisms or as large as ≈9,000 genes in large, free-living bacteria. …”
