Structure, Evolution, and Functions of Bacterial Type III Toxin-Antitoxin Systems

Structure, Evolution, and Functions of Bacterial Type III Toxin-Antitoxin Systems

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are small genetic modules that encode a toxin (that targets an essential cellular process) and an antitoxin that neutralises or suppresses the deleterious effect of the toxin. Based on the molecular nature of the toxin and antitoxin components, TA systems are categorised...
