CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE PLASMID MAINTENANCE SYSTEM EPSILON/ZETA: MEACHNISM OF TOXIN INACTIVATION AND TOXIN FUNCTION
Overview
Programmed cell death in prokaryotes is frequently found as, postsegregational killing. It relies on antitoxin/toxin systems that, secure stable inheritance of low and medium copy number plasmids during, cell division and kill cells that have lost the plasmid. The, broad-host-range, low-copy-number plasmid pSM19035 from Streptococcus, pyogenes carries the genes encoding the antitoxin/toxin system, epsilon/zeta and antibiotic resistance proteins, among others. The crystal, structure of the biologically nontoxic epsilon(2)zeta(2) protein complex, at a 1.95-A resolution and site-directed mutagenesis showed that free zeta, acts as phosphotransferase by using ATPGTP. In epsilon(2)zeta(2), the, toxin zeta is inactivated because the N-terminal helix of the antitoxin, epsilon blocks the ... [(full description)]
