AbiR is classified as abortive infection in :ref{doi=10.1016/j.mib.2023.102312}. + +AbiR is composed of 3 genes: AbiRa, AbiRb, AbiRc. +AbiRa encodes a sigma70 RNA polymerase subunit. AbiRb as homology with ParB nuclease domain according to HHpred. +AbiRc has two different domains: a N_terminal PLD domain (PF13091) and at the C term an SNF2 DNA dependant ATPase. + +## Molecular mechanism + +As far as we are aware, the molecular mechanism is unknown. + ## Example of genomic structure The AbiR is composed of 3 proteins: AbiRa, AbiRb and AbiRc.
