| PF14373 | Superinfection immunity protein | family |
This family includes the E. coli bacteriophage T4 superinfection immunity (imm) protein, Swiss:P08986. When E. coli is sequentially infected with two T-even type bacteriophage the DNA of the superinfecting phage is excluded from the host, into the periplasmic space. The immunity protein plays a role in this process [1].
