Characterization of a mazEF Toxin-Antitoxin Homologue from Staphylococcus equorum
29 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems encoded in prokaryotic genomes fall into five types, typically composed of two distinct small molecules, an endotoxic protein and a cis-encoded antitoxin of ribonucleic or proteinaceous nature. In silico analysis revealed seven putative type I and three putative type II TA systems in the genome of the nonpathogenic species strain Staphylococcus equorum SE3. Among these, a MazEF system...
