Expression of the 3-gene retron confers protection against bacteriophage T5. At multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.02 cultures grow normally when infected with T5 without collapsing, at MOI 2 cultures enter growth stasis (PubMed:33157039). Responsible for synthesis of msDNA (a branched molecule with RNA linked by a 2',5'-phosphodiester bond to ssDNA). The retron transcript serves as primer (from a conserved internal G residue) and template for the reaction, and codes for the RT (PubMed:10531319, PubMed:2466573). Recognizes only its cognate RNA as a primer template (PubMed:10531319). Overexpression of the ncRNA and RT (without the ribosyltransferase), which leads to increased levels of msDNA, is mutagenic in vivo (PubMed:7885227). This may be due to a mismatch in the msDNA stem which binds and sequesters MutS and/or MutL (Probable).
