Turning a phage anti-defense weapon into an immunity trigger Recent research published in PLOS Biology details the molecular mechanism of type II Panoptes, a bacterial defense system that operates through reverse signaling. While typical bacterial immune mechanisms activate by detecting the appearance of signaling nucleotides during phage attacks, type II Panoptes maintains a continuous low-level… see more
