It is named after one of the divine guardians of the ocean in the MÄori traditions. Kiwa is composed of two proteins: KwaA and KwaB. ## Molecular mechanisms -Kiwa is composed of two proteins: KwaA and KwaB. KwaA detects phage infection by detecting the inhibition of the host RNA polymerase by phages. This triggers the reponse by KwaB, which decreases phage DNA replication through a RecBCD-depdendent pathway :ref{doi=10.1101/2023.02.26.530102}.. +KwaA detects phage infection by detecting the inhibition of the host RNA polymerase by phages.
