A predicted immunity protein with an alpha+beta fold and a conserved lysine residue. Proteins containing this domain are present in bacterial polymorphic toxin systems as an immediate gene neighbour of the toxin gene, usually containing a domain of the Tox-URI2 family [1]. The protein is also found in heterogeneous poly-immunity loci.
