FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

Also known as CDII_YERMW, cdiI. Immunity protein component of a toxin-immunity protein module, which functions as a cellular contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) system. CDI modules allow bacteria to communicate with and inhibit the growth of closely related neighboring bacteria in a contact-dependent fashion. Protects cells against the tRNA endonuclease activity of cognate toxin CdiA-43969 but not other non-cognate toxins, inhibits the tRNase activity of the isolated CT fragment of CdiA-43969. Forms a 1:1 complex with cognate toxin CdiA.
