Phage Protein TifA Inhibits Bacterial Defense System ToxIN by Forming High Molecular Weight Ribonucleoprotein Complex.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38117986

A phage protein, TifA, inhibits a bacterial defense system, ToxIN, by binding to both the toxin and RNA, forming a high molecular weight ribonucleoprotein complex and preventing cleavage of phage transcripts.
