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 ...

Phenotypic responses to interspecies competition and commensalism in a naturally derived microbial co-culture [PDF]
, 2018 The fundamental question of whether different microbial species will co-exist or compete in a given environment depends on context, composition and environmental constraints.

Toxin inhibition in C. crescentus VapBC1 is mediated by a flexible pseudo-palindromic protein motif and modulated by DNA binding [PDF]
, 2016 Expression of bacterial type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems is regulated at the transcriptional level through direct binding of the antitoxin to pseudo-palindromic sequences on operator DNA.

Role of \u3ci\u3evapBC\u3c/i\u3e toxin–antitoxin loci in the thermal stress response of \u3ci\u3eSulfolobus solfataricus\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]
, 2009 TA (toxin–antitoxin) loci are ubiquitous in prokaryotic microorganisms, including archaea, yet their physiological function is largely unknown. For example, preliminary reports have suggested that TA loci are microbial stress-response elements, although ...

Crystal Structure of VapBC-1 from Nontypeable \u3ci\u3eHaemophilus influenzae\u3c/i\u3e and the Effect of Pin Domain Mutations on Survival During Infection [PDF]
, 2019 Toxin-antitoxin (TA) gene pairs have been identified in nearly all bacterial genomes sequenced to date and are thought to facilitate persistence and antibiotic tolerance.
