Endonuclease that nicks double-stranded DNA within the sequence 5'-TNNNCGGGNNA-3' in the absence of nucleotides (NTP, dNTP and NDPs), cleaving after C-1 (PubMed:33885789, PubMed:37992757). Has no detected ATPase activity (PubMed:33885789). Expression of Gabija type I in B.subtilis (strain BEST7003) confers resistance to phages phi105, phi29, rho14, SpBeta and SBSphiC (PubMed:29371424). Expression of Gabija type I in E.coli B (strain ATCC 11303) confers resistance to phage T7 (PubMed:33885789). It is thought that this enzyme is strongly suppressed during physiological growth (in E.coli total nucleotide concentration is over 8.7 mM in mid-log phase), but during viral replication, when nucleotides are rapidly consumed, it is de-suppressed and degrades target DNA (Probable).<ref>PMID:29371424</ref> <ref>PMID:33885789</ref> <ref>PMID:37992757</ref> <ref>PMID:33885789</ref> |

| + | As one of the most prevalent anti-phage defense systems in prokaryotes, Gabija consists of a Gabija protein A (GajA) and a Gabija protein B (GajB). The assembly and function of the Gabija system remain unclear. Here we present cryo-EM structures of Bacillus cereus GajA and GajAB complex, revealing tetrameric and octameric assemblies, respectively. In the center of the complex, GajA assembles into a tetramer, which recruits two sets of GajB dimer at opposite sides of the complex, resulting in a 4:4 GajAB supramolecular complex for anti-phage defense. Further biochemical analysis showed that GajA alone is sufficient to cut double-stranded DNA and plasmid DNA, which can be inhibited by ATP. Unexpectedly, the GajAB displays enhanced activity for plasmid DNA, suggesting a role of substrate selection by GajB. Together, our study defines a framework for understanding anti-phage immune defense by the GajAB complex. | ||
