Both genes are required for phage defense and were predicted to form a heterodimer. It was shown that the system works causes host DNA degradation upon infection by lambda-vir only, which would suggest that GAPS4 is an abortive infection system :ref{doi=10.1101/2023.03.28.534373}. -## Example of genomic structure - -## Distribution of the system among prokaryotes ## Structure
