Interactions of the <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> Toxin-Antitoxin RelBE Proteins with Their Target DNA

Type II bacterial toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are found in most bacteria, archaea, and mobile genetic elements. TAs are usually found as a bi-cistronic operon composed of an unstable antitoxin and a stable toxin that targets crucial cellular functions like DNA supercoiling, cell-wall synthesis or m...
