[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PEZT_STRPN PEZT_STRPN]] Toxic component of a toxin-antitoxin (TA) module. Phosphorylates UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (UNAG) on the 3'-hydroxyl group of the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine moiety, yielding UNAG-3P. UNAG-3P inhibits MurA, the first committed step in cell wall synthesis, which is then blocked. Upon expression in E.coli results in decreased cell growth and viability, followed 3 hours later by growth restoration; the toxic effect and phosphorylation of UNAG are neutralized by coexpression with cognate antitoxin PezA. A mutant lacking the last 11 residues is stably maintained in E.coli, unlike the wild-type which undergoes spontaneous mutation. Expression of the deletion mutant in rapidly growing liquid cultures leads to cell bulging, permeabilization and massive lysis by 1 hour. Cells that survive are not able to undergo cytokinesis. Expression in slowly growing cells leads to bulging but not lysis. Acts as a corepressor of its own operon with PezA; it is not clear if it binds DNA alone.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

The chromosomal pezT gene of the Gram-positive pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae encodes a protein that is homologous to the zeta toxin of the Streptococcus pyogenes plasmid pSM19035-encoded epsilon-zeta toxin-antitoxin system. Overexpression of pezT in Escherichia coli led to severe growth inhibition from which the bacteria recovered approximately 3 h after induction of expression. The toxicity of PezT was counteracted by PezA, which is encoded immediately upstream of pezT and shares weak sequence similarities in the C-terminal region with the epsilon antitoxin. The pezAT genes form a bicistronic operon that is co-transcribed from a sigma(70)-like promoter upstream of pezA and is negatively autoregulated with PezA functioning as a transcriptional repressor and PezT as a co-repressor. Both PezA and the non-toxic PezA(2)PezT(2) protein complex bind to a palindrome sequence that overlaps the promoter. This differs from the epsilon-zeta system in which epsilon functions solely as the antitoxin and transcriptional regulation is carried out by another protein designated omega. Results from site-directed mutagenesis experiments demonstrated that the toxicity of PezT is dependent on a highly conserved phosphoryltransferase active site and an ATP/GTP nucleotide binding site. In the PezA(2)PezT(2) complex, PezA neutralizes the toxicity of PezT by blocking the nucleotide binding site through steric hindrance.
