A compact Druantia defense clears phage infections via single-stranded DNA recognition and directional duplex unwinding

Stephanie Himpich, Thomas Gaudin, Lena M. Grass, Huihui Li, Vu Van Loi, Chao Chen, Eberhard Klauck, Philipp F. Popp, Maximilian Feussner, Benno Kuropka, Tarek Hilal, Bernhard Loll, Marc Erhardt, Haike Antelmann, Chase L. Beisel, Markus C. Wahl

This paper describes how the Druantia type III-A defense system in E. coli clears phage infections by recognizing single-stranded DNA and unwinding DNA duplexes directionally.

The co-localizing Zorya II, Druantia III, and ARMADA II defense systems on O-island 172 confer synergistic anti-phage defense in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

Huihui Li, Vu Van Loi, Costanza Borelli, Stephanie Himpich, Michaela Projahn, Lena M. Grass, T.T. Nguyen, M.C. Wahl, Haike Antelmann

This study identifies that the co-localizing Zorya II, Druantia III, and ARMADA II defense systems on O-island 172 in EHEC confer synergistic anti-phage defense, with Druantia III and ARMADA II providing most of the phage resistance.
