On the Danysz Effect with reference to the Toxin-antitoxin Reaction [PDF]
Journal of Hygiene, 1907 Svante Arrhenius (1908) has taken exception to my criticism (1907) of his interpretation of the Danysz Effect with reference to the Toxin-Antitoxin reaction. In this paper he has given an interesting but rather far-fetched analogy to the Danysz Effect, which is, according to him, purely chemical in character and subject to the laws of chemical mass ...

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

Keeping the wolves at bay: antitoxins of prokaryotic type II toxin-antitoxin systems
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2016 In their initial stages of discovery, prokaryotic toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems were confined to bacterial plasmids where they function to mediate the maintenance and stability of usually low- to medium-copy number plasmids through the post-segregational ...

Time to Diagnosis and Persistence: The Two Major Determinants of Effective Tuberculosis Control
, 2015 The greatest challenge confronting effective tuberculosis (TB) eradication is the time to diagnosis, and duration of treatment of chronically infected individuals which represent a pool of infection.

Toxin-antitoxin systems and its biotechnological applications
, 2014 Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are important genetic modules composed by two elements: a toxin, that is always a protein, and an antitoxin, that can be a RNA or a protein and neutralizes the toxic effect of toxin.

Regulating Toxin-Antitoxin Expression: Controlled Detonation of Intracellular Molecular Timebombs
Toxins, 2014 Genes for toxin-antitoxin (TA) complexes are widely disseminated in bacteria, including in pathogenic and antibiotic resistant species. The toxins are liberated from association with the cognate antitoxins by certain physiological triggers to impair ...

PLoS Genetics, 2012 Abortive infection, during which an infected bacterial cell commits altruistic suicide to destroy the replicating bacteriophage and protect the clonal population, can be mediated by toxin-antitoxin systems such as the Type III protein-RNA toxin-antitoxin

A competence-regulated toxin-antitoxin system in Haemophilus influenzae.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Natural competence allows bacteria to respond to environmental and nutritional cues by taking up free DNA from their surroundings, thus gaining both nutrients and genetic information.

The Biology and Biochemistry of PhoH2 proteins
, 2013 PhoH2 proteins are found in a diverse range of organisms. To date little is known about these proteins and the role they play in the organisms in which they reside.
