Mechanisms for Differential Protein Production in Toxin–Antitoxin Systems

, 2017
Toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems are key regulators of bacterial persistence, a multidrug-tolerant state found in bacterial species that is a major contributing factor to the growing human health crisis of antibiotic resistance. Type II TA systems consist of

Toxin-antitoxin systems as multilevel interaction systems.

, 2014
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are small genetic modules usually composed of a toxin and an antitoxin counteracting the activity of the toxic protein. These systems are widely spread in bacterial and archaeal genomes.

A new type V toxin-antitoxin system where mRNA for toxin GhoT is cleaved by antitoxin GhoS

, 2012
International audienceAmong bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems, to date no antitoxin has been identified that functions by cleaving toxin mRNA. Here we show that YjdO (renamed GhoT) is a membrane lytic peptide that causes ghost cell formation (lysed cells

Development of Effective Medical Countermeasures Against the Main Biowarfare Agents: The Importance of Antibodies

Microorganisms
The COVID-19 and mpox crisis has reminded the world of the potentially catastrophic consequences of biological agents. Aside from the natural risk, biological agents can also be weaponized or used for bioterrorism.
