Abstract:
ABSTRACT Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are ubiquitous in bacteria and archaea, where they play a pivotal role in the establishment and maintenance of dormancy. Under normal growth conditions, the antitoxin neutralizes the toxin. However, under conditions of stress, such as nutrient starvation or antibiotic treatment, cellular proteases degrade the antitoxin, and the toxin functions to arrest bacterial growth. We characterized the specificity determinants of the interactions between VapB antitoxins and VapC toxins from nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) in an effort to gain a better under

Abstract:
Background: The type II toxin-antitoxin system consists of tightly linked genetic units that produce a toxin and its specific antitoxin. Under typical circumstances, the antitoxin neutralizes the toxic effects caused by the toxin. However, the toxin-antitoxin systems during stress regulate bacterial growth and persistence by affecting translation or DNA replication. This study aimed to assess how variations in temperature and pH stress influence the regulation of type II toxin-antitoxin gene expression within Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates.Methods: Sixty-five Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates wer

Abstract:
Type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) ParDE systems are widespread in bacteria. The non-secreted protein toxin, ParE, potently inhibits DNA gyrase unless it is neutralized via direct interaction with the ParD antitoxin protein. ParDE operons encode cognate pairs, insulating from cross-interactions between structurally homologous ParE toxins that can reside in the same bacterial cell. These nano- to picomolar interactions are extensive and a model for "fuzzy" interactions, wherein the ParD antitoxin contains an unstructured region that is induced to fold by interactions with the ParE toxin.

Abstract:
Toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems interfere with essential cellular processes and are implicated in bacterial lifestyle adaptations such as persistence and the biofilm formation. Here, we present structural, biochemical, and functional data on an uncharacterized TA system, the COG5654–COG5642 pair. Bioinformatic analysis showed that this TA pair is found in 2,942 of the 16,286 distinct bacterial species in the RefSeq database. We solved a structure of the toxin bound to a fragment of the antitoxin to 1.50 Å. This structure suggested that the toxin is a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase (mART). The toxin

Abstract:
Bacterial type I toxin-antitoxin systems are two-component genetic modules that encode a stable toxic protein whose ectopic overexpression can lead to growth arrest or cell death, and an unstable RNA antitoxin that inhibits toxin translation during growth. These systems are widely spread among bacterial species. Type I antitoxins are cis- or trans-encoded antisense small RNAs that interact with toxin-encoding mRNAs by pairing, thereby inhibiting toxin mRNA translation and/or inducing its degradation. Under environmental stress conditions, the up-regulation of the toxin and/or the antitoxin deg

Abstract:
Abstract Toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems are proposed to play crucial roles in bacterial growth under stress conditions such as phage infection. The type III TA systems consist of a protein toxin whose activity is inhibited by a noncoding RNA antitoxin. The toxin is an endoribonuclease, while the antitoxin consists of multiple repeats of RNA. The toxin assembles with the individual antitoxin repeats into a cyclic complex in which the antitoxin forms a pseudoknot structure. While structure and functions of some type III TA systems are characterized, the complex assembly process is not well underst

Bacterial persistence is considered as one of the primary reason for antibiotic tolerance besides genetically acquired antibiotic resistance. Persisters are the subpopulation of a clonal bacterial population, which can survive environmental extremes and become invulnerable to stresses due to limited metabolic activities and physiological functions. Cognate toxin and antitoxin (TA) pairs, which are transcribed simultaneously from the same or different operons within the bacterial chromosomes or plasmids, play an important role for bacterial survival during stressful growth environments.

All bacteria initiate translation using formylated methionine, yet directly after translation, the formyl-group is removed. This sequence of addition and removal appears futile, yet every sequenced bacterial genome encodes the enzymes for formylation and deformylation, suggesting this process is essential. Puzzlingly, the process is absent from both Archaea and Eukaryotes, and moreover, bacterial mutants lacking both the formylase and deformylase activities are viable, albeit with a diminished growth rate. We created an Escherichia coli strain devoid of formylase and deformylase activity. This

Les systèmes TA sont fortement représentés au sein de l’ensemble des génomes bactériens.

Abstract:
In the last few decades, bacterial Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems have been identified to play crucial roles in bacterial survival under stressful conditions and virulence. TA systems are pair of genetic elements where one of the genes codes for a protein (toxin), which is toxic to the host cell, and the other gene code for its antidote (antitoxin), which can be an RNA or a protein. Under favourable growth conditions, the antitoxin inhibits the toxin activity; however, when the bacterial cell encounters stressful conditions such as antibiotic exposure, starvation, phage infection, etc., the toxi

Bacteria adopt several defense strategies to enable their survival against the environmental threats they encounter from time to time. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are being understood as a key bacterial defense mechanism against invading viruses, antibiotics, and other environmental stress. TA systems consist of a pair of genes, usually under a common promoter, that code for a toxin and its cognate antitoxin . The toxin is usually a protein, that arrests cellular growth during stress, whereas the antitoxin can be a protein or a non-coding RNA, that inhibits the toxin. The TA systems are class

Eijkman reported that he had traced a bacterial disease, its toxin, and its antitoxin. Beriberi, however, is a nutrient deficiency. Eijkman was wrong.
