In this study, we experimentally demonstrate that AbiQ belongs to the recently described type III toxin-antitoxin systems. When overexpressed, the AbiQ protein (ABIQ) is toxic and causes bacterial death in a bacteriostatic manner. Northern and Western blot experiments revealed that the abiQ gene is transcribed and translated constitutively, and its expression is not activated by a phage product. ABIQ is an endoribonuclease that specifically cleaves its cognate antitoxin RNA molecule in vivo. The crystal structure of ABIQ was solved and site-directed mutagenesis identified key amino acids for its anti-phage and/or its RNase function. The AbiQ system is the first lactococcal abortive infection system characterized to date at a structural level.
