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...

E.coli toxin-antitoxin systems
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...

Stress induces the transcription of toxin-antitoxin systems but does not activate toxin
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 ...

Antibiotic persistence is a transient phenotypic state during which a bacterium can withstand otherwise lethal antibiotic exposure or environmental stresses. In Escherichia coli, persistence is promoted by the HipBA toxin-antitoxin system. The HipA toxin functions as a serine/threonine kinase that i...

The purpose of this study was to identify the RNA cleavage targets and specificities of 9 endoribonuclease toxins from toxin-antitoxin systems in E. coli MG1655.

Toxin-antitoxin systems are widespread in bacteria. These systems typically consist of two components: a toxin that disrupts essential cellular processes and a cognate antitoxin that neutralizes its activity. However, their experimental characterization, particularly in the human pathogen Streptococ...
