Abstract excerpt
parD and chpA are homologous conditional killer systems of plasmid and chromosomal origin, respectively, encoding a killer protein (Kid and ChpAK) and an antidote (Kis and ChpAI). Here it is shown that these systems can functionally interact. A multicopy chpA recombinant partially complements two mutations in the antidote of the parD system. These mutations affect either autoregulation or neutralization of the...
