A base-modifying enzyme extends the range of anti-phage defense provided by DNA glycosylases

Adriana Mejía-Pitta, Zhiying Zhang, Amer A. Hossain…·Luciano A. Marraffini

Brig3, a DNA glycosylase from a soil metagenome, excises 5-hydroxymethylcytosine from T-even phage DNA; the glucose hydrolase BapA extends defense to glucosylated genomes such as wild-type T4.
