Reassembling a cannon in the DNA defense arsenal: Genetics of StySA, a BREX phage exclusion system in Salmonella lab strains

Julie Zaworski et al.

Summary: Understanding the mechanisms that control horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes is an important problem in biology. One major factor that limits DNA entry is the restriction-modification (RM) process, which depends on the DNA modification pattern at specific sites. Recent research has identified a novel system called BREX, which employs DNA modification for host protection but does not involve nuclease action on unmodified phage DNA. This study focuses on the stySA RM locus in Salmonella enterica sv Typhimurium and demonstrates that it is a variant of the BREX system. The findings provide insights into the function and mechanism of the BREX system.

Crystal structure of the BREX phage defence protein BrxA

Izaak N. Beck et al.

Summary: Researchers have reported the first structure of a core protein, BrxA, from the Bacteriophage Exclusion (BREX) system, which reveals a conserved DNA recognition mechanism similar to other bacteriophage defense systems. This finding provides new insights into the defense mechanisms against bacteriophage infection.

The phage defence island of a multidrug resistant plasmid uses both BREX and type IV restriction for complementary protection from viruses

David M. L. Picton et al.

Summary: Bacteria have evolved various systems to defend against bacteriophages and mobile genetic elements, with genes often clustered in defense islands. Functional characterization of a defense island in a multidrug resistant plasmid of E. fergusonii has revealed a novel GmrSD-family type IV DNA modification-dependent restriction enzyme, BrxU, that provides robust phage protection. The study also presents the first structure of BrxU and demonstrates its ability to cleave a range of modified DNAs through a multi-step reaction cycle.

Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold

John Jumper et al.

Summary: Proteins are essential for life, and accurate prediction of their structures is a crucial research problem. Current experimental methods are time-consuming, highlighting the need for accurate computational approaches to address the gap in structural coverage. Despite recent progress, existing methods fall short of atomic accuracy in protein structure prediction.
