Superinfection immunity proteins

Hi All, I am QCing the cluster A15 genome of LastResort. What are people's feelings on the membrane protein in parABS cassettes that has high probability matches in HHPRED (99.7% prob, 52% coverage, e-val=8E-20) to superinfection immunity protein of T4 phage. This membrane protein excludes other T-even phage from cells already infected with T4. It also matches other superinfection immunity proteins in various bacteria in NCBI blastP (low percent identity but also low e-vals). Is it safer just to call this a membrane protein? Thanks! Sally |

yep. I don't really like the name "super -infection immunity protein" because there are too many different types of proteins that can accomplish that phenotype. |

Membrane protein it is! Thanks! |
