摘要: Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are categorized into three classes based on the type of antitoxin. In I TA systems, antitoxin is a small antisense RNA that inhibits translation toxic proteins by binding to corresponding mRNAs. Those were originally identified as plasmid stabilization modules rendering post-segregational killing (PSK) effect host cells. The loci also exist Escherichia coli chromosome but their biological functions less clear. Genetic organization and regulatory elements hok/sok ldr/rdl families very similar toxins predicted contain transmembrane domain, otherwise share no detectable sequence similarity. This review will give an overview E. K-12, especially hok/sok, SOS-inducible symE/symR which regulated divergently overlapping cis-encoded RNAs.
