Characterisation of VapBC Toxin-Antitoxins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
, 2013 Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems were identified more than 20 years ago on the mini F plasmid of Escherichia coli as plasmid stability elements; components responsible for purging bacterial cells that lack the plasmid from the population.

Toxin–antitoxin systems: reversible toxicity
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2017 Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems encoded on the plasmids and chromosomes of bacteria are emerging as key players in stress adaptation. In particular, they have been implicated in the induction of persisters non-growing cells that can evade antibiotic exposure.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Background The Xinyu tangerine is a geographical indication agricultural product from Jiangxi province, China. During postharvest storage, nutrient loss and pathogen‐induced decay reduce fruit quality. The selection of appropriate preservatives is therefore important for maintaining postharvest quality.

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The HADDOCK team participated in CAPRI rounds 47–55 as server, manual predictor, and scorers. Throughout these CAPRI rounds, we used a plethora of computational strategies to predict the structure of protein complexes. Of the 10 targets comprising 24 interfaces, we achieved acceptable or better models for 3 targets in the human category and 1 ...

A novel type I toxin-antitoxin system modulates persister cell formation in Staphylococcus aureus
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2020 A plethora of toxin-antitoxin systems exist in bacteria and has multilateral roles in bacterial pathogenesis and virulence. Toxin-antitoxin systems have been involved in persister cell formation in Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium but have not been ...

RNA Regulated Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Pathogenic Bacteria
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 The dynamic host environment presents a significant hurdle that pathogenic bacteria must overcome to survive and cause diseases. Consequently, these organisms have evolved molecular mechanisms to facilitate adaptation to environmental changes within the ...

Biomolecular Interaction Prediction in the Pre‐ and Post‐AlphaFold Era: The 8th CAPRI Evaluation
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We report on the 8th CAPRI Evaluation period, capturing the assessment of CAPRI Rounds 47 to 55 (excluding the CASP and COVID‐related Rounds), which have witnessed the transition to AI‐driven prediction tools such as AlphaFold and related alternatives. The prediction Rounds in this evaluation are characterized by a high level of difficulty due

Structural Basis for Toxin Inhibition in the VapXD Toxin-Antitoxin System
, 2022 Bacterial type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) modules encode a toxic protein that downregulates metabolism and a specific antitoxin that binds and inhibits the toxin during normal growth.
