Reassessing the Role of the Type II MqsRA Toxin-Antitoxin System in Stress Response and Biofilm Formation: <italic toggle="yes">mqsA</italic> Is Transcriptionally Uncoupled from <italic toggle="yes">mqsR</italic>

ABSTRACT Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are broadly distributed modules whose biological roles remain mostly unknown. The mqsRA system is a noncanonical TA system in which the toxin and antitoxins genes are organized in operon but with the particularity that the toxin gene precedes that of the antitox...
