Scientists discover how bacteria use BREX methyltransferase to defend against viruses, highlighting a key protein's role.
Scientists have uncovered details about a bacterial defense system called BREX methyltransferase, which helps bacteria defend against viruses.
By studying the protein structure, the team found that a protein called BrxX is key to both modifying bacterial DNA and fighting viral attacks.
This discovery, published in Nature Communications, could lead to improved antiviral defenses and a better understanding of how bacteria protect themselves from viruses.
