Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Cryptic Prophage Protease LfgB Protects <i>Escherichia coli</i> During Oxidative Stress by Cleaving Antitoxin MqsA

2023-09-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Although toxin/antitoxin (TA) systems are ubiquitous, beyond phage inhibition and mobile element stabilization, their role in host metabolism is obscure. One of the best-characterized TA systems is MqsR/MqsA of Escherichia coli , which has been linked previously to protecting this gastrointestinal species during the stress it encounters from the bile salt deoxycholate as it colonizes humans. Ho...
