GAPS (GMT-encoded Anti-Phage System) antiphage systems were discovered on newly described Gamma-Mobile-Trio elements.
GAPS6 comprises two genes encoding WP_248387294.1 (GAPS6a) and WP_248387295.1 258 (GAPS6b) (Fig. 6a). These two proteins are encoded together in diverse Gram-negative 259 bacteria
GAPS6 is composed of two proteins, [GAPS6a](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/WP_248387294.1/) and [GAPS6b](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/WP_248387295.1/). These two proteins are encoded together in diverse Gram-negative bacteria.
## Molecular mechanism
Predicted structures in the original paper, show that GAPS4a and GAPS4b might interact and form a heterodimer. They suggest that GAPS4 binds to DNA.
GAPS4 is suggested to be an abortive infection system degrading host cell DNA upon phage infection.
GAPS6b is essential for the defense phenotype, however it is not known whether GAPS6b could be sufficient.
GAPS6b is composed of TPR repeats at the N-terminus, possibly allowing ligand binding and a predicted RNAse domain (PINc, PF08745.14) at the C-terminus. PINc domains have been implicated as toxins in bacterial toxin-antitoxin modules :ref{doi=10.1093/protein/gzq081}. The PINc domain is required for the anti-phage defense activity of GAPS6.
