Prevalence of Fst-like toxin–antitoxin systems [PDF]
Microbiology, 2010 Toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems are widespread in Gram-negative bacteria, and all systems identified to date encode a toxic protein and an unstable antitoxin, which may be in the form of either an antisense RNA (type I) or a second protein (type II). The enterococcal plasmid pAD1-encoded TA system (par), encoding the Fst toxin, was the first type I TA ...

Small Open Reading Frames, Non-Coding RNAs and Repetitive Elements in Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 [PDF]
, 2016 Small open reading frames (sORFs) and genes for non-coding RNAs are poorly investigated components of most genomes. Our analysis of 1391 ORFs recently annotated in the soybean symbiont Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 revealed that 78% of them contain ...

Multiple Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
Toxins, 2014 The hallmark of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is its ability to persist for a long-term in host granulomas, in a non-replicating and drug-tolerant state, and later awaken to cause disease. To date, the cellular factors and the molecular mechanisms that mediate entry into the persistence phase are poorly understood. Remarkably, M.

mBio, 2019 Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are broadly distributed modules whose biological roles remain mostly unknown. The mqsRA system is a noncanonical TA system in which the toxin and antitoxins genes are organized in operon but with the particularity that the ...

Induced ectopic expression of HigB toxin in Mycobacterium tuberculosis results in growth inhibition, reduced abundance of a subset of mRNAs and cleavage of tmRNA. [PDF]
, 2013 In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the genes Rv1954A-Rv1957 form an operon that includes Rv1955 and Rv1956 which encode the HigB toxin and the HigA antitoxin respectively.

Hypothetical Functions of Toxin-Antitoxin Systems [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2007 Toxin-antitoxin systems are very commonly found both on large, low-copy plasmids, where they increase effective stability ([35][1]), and on bacterial chromosomes, where their function has been the subject of considerable speculation.
