A poisonous substance, especially a protein, that is produced by living cells or organisms and is capable of causing disease when introduced into the body tissues but is often also capable of inducing neutralizing antibodies or antitoxins. Toxicant Poisonous; toxic. Toxin A poisonous or harmful non...
for an antitoxin (Arcus et al., 2005; Buts et al., 2005; Van Such chromosomes often have plasmid-like features and Melderen and De Bast, 2009). The antitoxin is less stable are ubiquitous in some bacterial clades (Egan and than the toxin, and is broken down at a faster rate. As ...

‘addiction’, these complexes come with a gene coding for a toxin, as well as a gene coding for an antitoxin (Arcus et al., 2005;Buts et al., 2005;Van Melderen and De Bast, 2009). The antitoxin is less stable than the toxin, and is broken down at a faster rate. As the ...
In this study, we show that inorganic polyphosphate is not required for Lon-dependent degradation of YefM, the antitoxin of YefM/YoeB TAS. The 螖10 strain, an Escherichia coli MG1655 derivative in which the ten TAS are deleted, is more sensitive to Ciprofloxacin and Ampicilli...
Edema Factor is a Ca2+ and calmodulin-dependent adenylyl cyclase that elevates intracellular cAMP level, contributing to the dissemination of B. anthracis in the host [9], [10]. Protective Antigen, named because of its long-lasting use as an active component of the vaccine against anthrax, ...
fractionof a bacterial population. One of the proposed determinants of bacterial persistence istoxin–antitoxin systems (TASs) which are also implicated in a wide range of stress-relatedphenomena. Maisonneuve E, Castro-Camargo M, Gerdes K. 2013. Cell 154:1140–1150reported an interesting link ...
