Regulation of the Escherichia coli HipBA toxin-antitoxin system by proteolysis.

Regulation of the Escherichia coli HipBA toxin-antitoxin system by proteolysis.

Bacterial populations produce antibiotic-tolerant persister cells. A number of recent studies point to the involvement of toxin/antitoxin (TA) modules in persister formation. hipBA is a type II TA module that codes for the HipB antitoxin and the HipA toxin. HipA is an EF-Tu kinase, which causes prot...
