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.

This study shows that the YqeK hydrolase regulates Ap4A levels in S. aureus, affecting growth, stress survival, biofilm formation, and virulence.

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.

This paper identifies the quinone-binding pocket of SaMhqR and elucidates its mechanism of inactivation through structural and mutational analyses.
