An Antisense RNA Fine-Tunes Gene Expression of the Type II MazEF Toxin-Antitoxin System

An Antisense RNA Fine-Tunes Gene Expression of the Type II MazEF Toxin-Antitoxin System

ABSTRACT Despite their ubiquitous nature, few antisense RNAs have been functionally characterized, and this class of RNAs is considered by some to be transcriptional noise. Here, we report that an antisense RNA (asRNA), aMEF (antisense mazEF), functions as a dual regulator for the type II toxin-anti...
