APIS010 Ocr restriction-modification (RM);bacteriophage exclusion (BREX) CLAN009 T7 of E. coli PMID:32338761 329108 12235377 11804597 Ocr physically associates with BrxX methyltransferase to neutralizes their ability to both methylate and exclude incoming phage DNA. Ocr structurally mimics the DNA phosphate backbone and interacts directly with EcoKI (both the MTase and REase domain of this type I R–M enzyme), thereby interfering with the activity of this system.
APIS077 CLAN009 Proteus phage PM 116
APIS085 CLAN009 Escherichia phage T7
APIS087 CLAN009 Shigella phage ESh23
APIS091 HOS17_gp01 restriction-modification (RM);bacteriophage exclusion (BREX) CLAN035 T3 of E. coli Andriianov et al., 2023 T3 encodes a SAMase that circumvents the SAM-dependent Type I R-M defence of the host E. coli through cleavage of S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM). SAMase also allows T3 to evade BREX defence.
APIS093 CLAN035 Pantoea phage vB_PagP-SK1
APIS148 OrbA bacteriophage exclusion (BREX) CLAN058 Vibrio phage ICP1 PMID:34326207 Clinical phage ICP1 overcomes cocirculating SXT ICEs through acquisition of epigenetic RM as well as an anti-BREX protein, OrbA.
