Special care was taken to identify putative abortive spores that were then excluded from the analyses.
In addition to the PrrC-PrrI link discussed above, many other Type I and Type III RM systems encompass domains with potential toxin-like roles including different families of HEPN domains as well as Sir2, ParB and REase fold nucleases that are homologous to abortive infection system subunits and predicted toxins of TA systems [ 6].
Recent live-cell imaging studies (Loerke et al., 2009; Saffarian et al., 2009) have revealed the presence of three types of AP2/clathrin-positive structures at the cell's limiting membrane: those that abort in around 5 s (early abortive), those that abort within 15 s (late abortive), and those that are endocytosed at around 100 s.
Sukarno had also fallen from power in a wave of violence, one that swept the country in 1965 after an attack that was officially portrayed as an abortive leftist coup.
His life has been a series of abortive episodes that are not quite adventures – his marriage into the Khoja family; his brief, uncomprehending passion for photography; his liaisons with Doreen; the drive into the country during one such liaison, into obscure villages named after places in India (Bengal, Calcutta); the throwing of a disastrous Christmas party; the garden and the avocado tree.
