Cellular Memory of HipA-Induced Growth Arrest: The Length of Cell Growth Arrest Becomes Shorter for Each Successive Induction

Toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems are genetic modules found commonly in bacterial genomes. HipA is a toxin protein encoded from the <i>hipBA</i> TA system in the genome of <i>Escherichia coli.</i> Ectopic expression of <i>hipA</i> induces cell growth arrest. Unlike the...
