## Molecular mechanism
GAPS4a is a nuclease containing a domain from the PDDEXK clan (CL0236) suggesting that the GAPS4 defense system is acting via DNA degradation. 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}.
