Protein Domain : Immunity protein 58 IPR028968

Type	Family
Description	Polymorphic toxins systems consist of secreted toxins, primarily involved in intra-specific conflict between related strains of prokaryotes. These toxins are as a rule multi-domain and tend to vary their toxin domains through a process of recombination that might replace an existing toxin domain by a distinct one encoded by standalone cassettes, therefore their name as polymorphic toxins. A key feature that distinguishes the polymorphic toxins from conventional toxins (whose primary targets are in distantly related organisms) is the presence of immunity proteins.This entry represents a predicted immunity protein with an alpha+beta fold and YxxxD, WxG, KxxxE motifs. They are present in bacterial polymorphic toxin systems as an immediate gene neighbour of the toxin gene [ ].
