Montana State researchers publish Nature study revealing insights into PARIS bacterial immune system structure and function.

Montana State University researchers published a study in Nature, revealing insights into the PARIS bacterial immune system, which defends against viral infections. The PARIS structure resembles a propeller-shaped complex that consumes energy to detect viral proteins, releasing a toxin that halts viral replication. The findings may advance understanding of immunity systems across different organisms.
