Toprim is different domain than HEPN. MNT can fit in here.
tRNA cleavage expriments from our MNT-HEPN study really helped for Eco2. The study:

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov HEPN-MNT Toxin-Antitoxin System: The HEPN Ribonuclease Is Neutralized by OligoAMPylation - PubMed Prokaryotic toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are composed of a toxin capable of interfering with key cellular processes and its neutralizing antidote, the antitoxin. Here, we focus on the HEPN-MNT TA...

Retron Eco2, another derivative of TA system HEPN-MntA (doi: 10.1093/nar/gkaa855), works as a trimeric complex that is activated by T2 phage endonuclease DenB, which cleaves msDNA & leads to RNA degradation.

Deoxydinucleotides can activate doughnut-shaped mutimeric HEPN ApeA nucleases for tRNA cleavage in the anticodon loop ✂️🛡🧬
Great work lead by Jonas, Giedrius and great team 💪🙌

🧬 We discovered how bacteria detect phage infections by sensing fragments of their own degraded DNA.
Meet #ApeA – a #BacterialImmunity system activated by a novel signal - #Deoxydinucleotides.
