Widespread in bacteria and archaea, Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems have been recently demonstrated to function in phage defense. Here we characterize the anti-phage function of a type IV TA system, ShosTA. Using structural and biochemical approaches, we show that ShosT couples phosphoribosyltransferas...

Type I toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are widespread genetic modules in bacterial genomes. They express toxic peptides whose overexpression leads to growth arrest or cell death, whereas antitoxins regulate the expression of toxins, acting as labile antisense RNAs. The Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)...

MqsR/MqsA is a well-characterized toxin/antitoxin system with several regulatory roles. Deletion of mqsRA reduced growth with deoxycholate stress. Here we performed a microarray to determine the expression profile with and without mqsRA under deoxycholate stress to determine transcriptional regulat...

Bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems (TASs) are thought to respond to various stresses, often inducing growth-arrested (persistent) sub-populations of cells whose housekeeping functions are inhibited. However, it is not always clear whether specific targets of orthologous RNAse toxins are responsible f...

Profiling the intragenic toxicity determinants of the hok/Sok toxin-antitoxin system
High-throughput suppressor selection of a type I toxin-antitoxin system in Helicobacter pylori
Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen with strong pathogenicity and serious threat to public health. The toxin-antitoxin system is considered to be contributed to the pathogenicity of S. aureus, but the exact pathogenic mechanism remains unknown. Our previous study showed that toxin-antitox...

A novel prophage-encoded type III toxin–antitoxin system promotes resistance to phage infection in Streptococcus pyogenes
Pseudomonas aeruginosa kill the host Drosophila melanogasger very rapidly due to bacteria fitness in vivo. However, mutant of antitoxin HigA has impaired virulence accompanying with loss of fitness. We suppose the free toxin HigB in higA mutant inhibits some proteins production as to be an RNase. To...

Bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems are thought to help bacteria to reduce their metabolism in various stressful conditions. Many toxins of the bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems are ribonucleases. Such toxins have been mostly viewed as degraders of mRNA, however recently it was demonstrated that they ...
