The ntrPR Operon of Sinorhizobium meliloti Is Organized and Functions as a Toxin-Antitoxin Module

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006
The chromosomal ntrPR operon of Sinorhizobium meliloti encodes a protein pair that forms a toxin-antitoxin (TA) module, the first characterized functional TA system in Rhizobiaceae. Similarly to other bacterial TA systems, the toxin gene ntrR is preceded

Insights into dynamics of mobile genetic elements in hyperthermophilic environments from five new Thermococcus plasmids.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Mobilome of hyperthermophilic archaea dwelling in deep-sea hydrothermal vents is poorly characterized. To gain insight into genetic diversity and dynamics of mobile genetic elements in these environments we have sequenced five new plasmids from different

Characterization of the Deep-Sea Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 02999 Derived VapC/VapB Toxin-Antitoxin System in Escherichia coli

Toxins, 2016
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are small genetic elements that are ubiquitous in prokaryotes. Most studies on TA systems have focused on commensal and pathogenic bacteria; yet very few studies have focused on TAs in marine bacteria, especially those ...

Comprehensive functional analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis toxin-antitoxin systems: implications for pathogenesis, stress responses, and evolution.

PLoS Genetics, 2009
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems, stress-responsive genetic elements ubiquitous in microbial genomes, are unusually abundant in the major human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Why M.

The VapBC Toxin-Antitoxin systems : regulators of the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis Rhizobium-Legume

, 2020
Lors de la symbiose fixatrice d’azote entre la légumineuse modèle Medicago truncatula et la rhizobiacée Sinorhizobium meliloti, les bactéries, différenciées en bactéroïdes dans la nodosité, réduisent l’azote atmosphérique (N2) en ammoniac (NH3), directement assimilable par la plante.
