Functionality and cross-regulation of the four SprG/SprF type I toxin–antitoxin systems in Staphylococcus aureus
4 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are ubiquitous among bacteria, frequently expressed in multiple copies, and important for functions such as antibiotic resistance and persistence. Type I TA systems are composed of a stable toxic peptide whose expression is repressed by an unstable RNA antitoxin. Here, we investigated the functionalities, regulation, and possible cross-talk between three core genome copies of the...
