Analyzing the Regulatory Role of the HigA Antitoxin within <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial chromosomally encoded type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) loci may be involved in survival upon exposure to stress and have been linked to persistence and dormancy. Therefore, understanding the role of the numerous predicted TA loci within the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis has become a topic of great interest. Antitoxin proteins are known to autoregulate TA expression under normal growth...
