Abstract Nucleic acid degradation is a common strategy for prokaryotic anti-phage systems, as exemplified by the CRISPR-Cas system. The PD-(D/E)-XK nucleases constitute a widely distributed family in these defenses. Notably, most members exhibit a single nuclease domain, while variants containing dual nuclease domains within a single polypeptide remain underexplored, and their molecular mechanisms largely obscure.
