Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Effector protein of a CBASS antiviral system with NAD(+) hydrolase activity (By similarity). CBASS (cyclic oligonucleotide-based antiphage signaling system) provides immunity against bacteriophage. The CD-NTase protein synthesizes cyclic nucleotides in response to infection; these serve as specific second messenger signals. The signals activate a diverse range of effectors, leading to bacterial cell death and thus abortive phage infection. A type I-(GG) CBASS system (PubMed:32839535).
