Escherichia coli (E. coli) mazEF is an extensively studied stress-induced toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. The toxin MazF is an endoribonuclease that cleaves RNAs at ACA sites. Thereby, under stress the induced MazF generates a Stress induced Translation Machinery (STM), composed of MazF processed mRNAs...
