Global Analysis of the E. coli Toxin MazF Reveals Widespread Cleavage of mRNA and the Inhibition of rRNA Maturation and Ribosome Biogenesis

Toxin-antitoxin systems are widely distributed genetic modules that regulate growth and persistence in bacteria. Many systems, including E. coli MazEF, include toxins that are endoribonucleases, but the full set of targets for these toxins remains poorly defined. Previous studies on a limited set of...
