Abundance, distribution and functional characterisation of gut-associated Type II toxin-antitoxin systems
Prokaryotic toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems (also known as addiction modules), are ubiquitous genetic modules first discovered due to their role in stabilising vertical transmission of plasmids. Generally they are two-gene systems encoding a stable toxin (Tx) and an unstable antitoxin (ATx). Loss of th...
