Identification and characterisation of toxin-antitoxin systems (TA) in Burkholderia pseudomallei [PDF]
, 2013 The aim of this study was to identify and characterise type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems in Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of the human disease melioidosis. 8 putative TA systems were identified within the genome of B. pseudomallei

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.When overexpressed in Staphylococcus aureus, the type I toxins SprA1 and SprA2 form membrane pores, with SprA1 creating stable pores and SprA2 forming transient ones. Both induce concomitant membrane depolarization, ATP release, and growth arrest, while only SprA1 causes membrane permeabilization due to its stable pore formation.

The vapB-vapC operon of Acidovorax citrulli functions as a bona-fide toxin-antitoxin module
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Toxin–antitoxin systems are commonly found on plasmids and chromosomes of bacteria and archaea. These systems appear as biscystronic genes encoding a stable toxin and a labile antitoxin, which protects the cells from the toxin’s activity. Under specific,

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.The fitness of Anopheles coluzzii mosquito lines (VK strain) selected for early and late egg hatching was compared with each other and a reference strain (Mopti). There was an observed increase in fitness in fecundity and survival among the late‐hatching lines, but no negative effects of selection on fecundity and adult survival were detected.
