Escherichia coli MazEF toxin-antitoxin system does not mediate programmed cell death.

Journal of basic microbiology - 1 Dec 2016

Ramisetty Bhaskar Chandra Mohan, Raj Swati, Ghosh Dimpy

Abstract excerpt

Toxin-antitoxins systems (TAS) are prokaryotic operons containing two small overlapping genes which encode two components referred to as toxin and antitoxin. Involvement of TAS in bacterial programmed cell death (PCD) is highly controversial. MazEF, a typical type II TAS, is particularly implicated in mediating PCD in Escherichia coli. Hence, we compared the metabolic fitness and stress tolerance of E. coli...
