Panoptes System Uses Decoy Nucleotides to Combat Phages
TL;DR Summary
The Panoptes system in bacteria uses decoy cyclic nucleotides to defend against phages by detecting phage anti-defense proteins like Acb2 that sequester these signaling molecules, thereby activating membrane-disrupting effectors to prevent phage replication.
