Self versus non-self discrimination is a key element of innate and adaptive immunity across life. In bacteria, CRISPR-Cas and restriction-modification systems recognize non-self nucleic acids through their sequence and their methylation state, respectively. Here we show that the Wadjet defense system recognizes DNA topology to protect its host against plasmid transformation. Combining cryoelectron microscopy with crosslinking mass spectrometry, we show that Wadjet forms a complex similar to the bacterial condensin complex MukBEF, with a novel nuclease subunit similar to a type II DNA topoisomerase. Wadjet specifically cleaves closed-circular DNA in a reaction requiring ATP hydrolysis by the SMC ATPase subunit JetC, suggesting that the complex could use DNA loop extrusion to sense its substrate’s topology, then specifically activate the nuclease subunit JetD to cleave plasmid DNA. Overall, our data reveal how bacteria have co-opted a DNA maintenance machine to specifically recognize and destroy foreign DNAs through topology sensing. The bacterial Wadjet defense system protects its host cell from transformation by plasmids. Combining biochemical analysis and structure determination by cryo-EM, Deep et al. show that Wadjet recognizes and cleaves closed-circular DNA by coupling an SMC-family DNA motor activity to the specific activation of a homodimeric endonuclease.
