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)...

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...

Rickettsia spp. can cause mild to severe human disease. These intracellular bacteria are associated with arthropods, nematodes and trematodes, and usually, are efficiently transmitted transovarially to the progeny of the invertebrate host. We recently demonstrated foreign gene acquisition by lateral...

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 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 ...

Transcriptional profiling of M. smegmatis JR121 expressing VapC and VapBC grown in flasks on Hartmans de Bont medium supplemented with 0.2% glycerol Comparing transcriptional response of strain JR121 to conditional expression of VapC toxin compared with the expression of VapBC complex. Biological re...

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...
