Anti-phage defenses must rapidly sense and respond to diverse viruses. A recent pair of papers in Nature reveal via structural and functional assays how the PARIS defense system, a recently discovered toxin-antitoxin system, senses phage-associated molecular patterns (PhAMPs), thereby activating an endonuclease toxin that cleaves tRNA to block phage replication.
