Functional and Structural Insights of a Staphylococcus aureus Apoptotic-like Membrane Peptide from a Toxin-Antitoxin Module

6 Nov 2012

Abstract excerpt

We report a functional type I toxin-antitoxin (TA) module expressed by a human pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus. TA systems consist of stable toxins and labile antitoxins encoded within small genetic modules widespread in eubacteria and archaea. TA genes provide stress adaptation and protection against DNA loss or invasion. The genes encoding the SprA1 toxic peptide (PepA1) and the SprA1(AS) RNA antitoxin are...
