This entry represents Thoeris anti-defense 2 from Bacillus phage SP01 (Tad2) and similar sequences from tailed bacteriophages and bacterial prophages. Tad2 is an anti-defence protein that counteracts the host Thoeris antiviral defence system. It sequesters the immune signalling molecules produced by Thoeris TIR-domain proteins in response to phage infection [1]. This entry also includes AcrIIA7 Cas9 inhibitor protein gene.
