Regulatory crosstalk between type I and type II toxin-antitoxin systems in the human pathogen Enterococcus faecalis
25 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
We discovered a chromosomal locus containing 2 toxin-antitoxin modules (TAs) with an antisense transcriptional organization in the E. faecalis clinical isolate V583. These TAs are homologous to the type I txpA-ratA system and the type II mazEF, respectively. We have shown that the putative MazF is toxic for E. coli and triggers RNA degradation, and its cognate antitoxin MazE counteracts toxicity. The second...
