AbiE is one of the so-called "Abi" systems for "Abortive infection" discovered in the 90's in research related to the dairy industry :ref{doi=10.1016/j.mib.2005.06.006}. AbiE is classified as abortive infection in :ref{doi=10.1016/j.mib.2023.102312}. AbiE is composed of two proteins: AbiEi and AbiEii. AbiEii is annotated as a nucleotidyltransferase. - - - ## Molecular mechanism AbiE is a family of an anti-phage defense systems. They act through a Toxin-Antitoxin mechanism, and are comprised of a pair of genes, with one gene being toxic while the other confers immunity to this toxicity :ref{doi=10.1093/nar/gkt1419}.
