Bacterial toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems correlate strongly with physiological processes in bacteria, such as growth arrest, survival and apoptosis. Here, the first crystal structure of a type II TA complex structure of Klebsiella pneumoniae at 2.3 Å resolution is presented. The K. pneumoniae MazEF complex consists of two MazEs and four MazFs in a heterohexameric assembly. It was estimated that MazEF forms a dodecamer with two heterohexameric MazEF complexes in solution, and a truncated complex exists in heterohexameric form. The MazE antitoxin interacts with the MazF toxin via two binding modes, namely, hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions. Compared with structural homologs, K. pneumoniae MazF shows distinct features in loops β1–β2, β3–β4 and β4–β5. It can be inferred that these three loops have the potential to represent the unique characteristics of MazF, especially various substrate recognition sites. In addition, K. pneumoniae MazF shows ribonuclease activity and the catalytic core of MazF lies in an RNA-binding pocket. Mutation experiments and cell-growth assays confirm Arg28 and Thr51 as critical residues for MazF ribonuclease activity. The findings shown here may contribute to the understanding of the bacterial MazEF TA system and the exploration of antimicrobial candidates to treat drug-resistant K. pneumoniae.

The over use of antibiotics to treat infections in humans and animals made a phenomenon of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria. While studies focused to find on new antibiotics but, identification of novel antibacterial targets in bacteria is very important. By Toxin antitoxin systems this hypothesis could be done, whereas by the activation of a toxin or inactivation of an antitoxin, the raised toxin kills the bacterium. These systems are attractive target for antimicrobial therapy. However, the most important step for potency of TA system, as an antibacterial target, is to identify a TA system that is prevalent in all resistant clinical isolates. So, the prevalence of different TA systems among clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii in Emam khomeini hospital, Ilam, Iran was evaluated to determine which TA system is prevalent in all antibiotic resistant A. baumannii. So, one hundred A. baumannii clinical isolates were identified during one-year period in Emam khomeini hospital, Ilam, Iran. A. baumannii clinical isolates were isolated from hospitalized patients in ICU and burn patients. All isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic. Then, the isolates were subjected to evaluation to find mazEF and higBA TA genes by PCR. The results showed the frequency of mazEF and highBA TA genes in all isolates was 72% and 39%, respectively. mazEF or higBA TA systems are not presented in all isolates. So, the potency of these two TA systems are in challenged. Also, all isolates were not positive for one TA gene. So, more research in different geographical area should be done with functionality of TA genes.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a pathogen of various plants which transfers its own DNA (T-DNA) to the host plants. It is used for producing genetically modified plants with this ability. To control T-DNA transfer to the right place, toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems of A. tumefaciens were used to control the target site of transfer without any unintentional targeting. Here, we describe a toxin-antitoxin system, Atu0939 (mazE-at) and Atu0940 (mazF-at), in the chromosome of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The toxin in the TA system has 33.3% identity and 45.5% similarity with MazF in Escherichia coli. The expression of MazF-at caused cell growth inhibition, while cells with MazF-at co-expressed with MazE-at grew normally. In vivo and in vitro assays revealed that MazF-at inhibited protein synthesis by decreasing the cellular mRNA stability. Moreover, the catalytic residue of MazF-at was determined to be the 24th glutamic acid using site-directed mutagenesis. From the results, we concluded that MazF-at is a type II toxin-antitoxin system and a ribosome-independent endoribonuclease. Here, we characterized a TA system in A. tumefaciens whose understanding might help to find its physiological function and to develop further applications.

Persister cells are defi ned as a subpopulation of bacteria in a dormant state with the ability to reduce bacterial metabolism and they are involved in antibiotic tolerance. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems have been previously suggested as important players in persistence. Therefore, this study aimed to study the involvement of TA systems in persister cell formation in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus following antibiotic exposure. Using TADB and RASTA database, two type II TA systems including MazF/MazE and RelE/RelB were predicted in S. aureus. The presence of these TA genes was determined in 5 methicillin-resistant S. aureus isolates and the standard strain S. aureus subsp. aureus N315 using PCR method. To induce persistence, isolates were exposed to lethal doses of ciprofl oxacin and the expression of the studied TA system genes was measured after 5 h using Real-Time PCR. According to our results, all the studied isolates harbored the TA system genes. S. aureus was highly capable of persister cell formation following exposure to sub-MIC of ciprofl oxacin and RT-qPCR showed a signifi cant increase in the expression of the MazEF and RelBE loci, indicating their potential role in antibiotic tolerance. Considering the importance of antibiotic tolerance, further studies on persister cell formation and TA systems involved in this phenomenon are required to effi ciently target these systems.

ABSTRACT The Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome encodes at least five proteic toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems. The mazEF and relBE systems have been extensively characterized and were proposed to be general stress response modules. On one hand, mazEF was proposed to act as a programmed cell death system that is triggered by a variety of stresses. On the other hand, relBE and mazEF were proposed to serve as growth modulators that induce a dormancy state during amino acid starvation. These conflicting hypotheses led us to test a possible synergetic effect of the five characterized E. coli TA systems on stress response. We compared the behavior of a wild-type strain and its derivative devoid of the five TA systems under various stress conditions. We were unable to detect TA-dependent programmed cell death under any of these conditions, even under conditions previously reported to induce it. Thus, our results rule out the programmed-cell-death hypothesis. Moreover, the presence of the five TA systems advantaged neither recovery from the different stresses nor cell growth under nutrient-limited conditions in competition experiments. This casts a doubt on whether TA systems significantly influence bacterial fitness and competitiveness during non-steady-state growth conditions.

Background: Escherichia coli (E. coli) mazEF, a stress-induced toxin-antitoxin (TA) system, has been studied extensively. The MazF toxin is an endoribonuclease that cleaves RNAs at ACA sites. Thereby, under stress, the induced MazF generates a Stress-induced Translation Machinery (STM), composed of MazF processed mRNAs and selective ribosomes that specifically translate the processed mRNAs. Materials and Methods: Escherichia coli (E. coli) mazEF, a stress-induced toxin-antitoxin (TA) system, has been studied extensively. The MazF toxin is an endoribonuclease that cleaves RNAs at ACA sites. Thereby, under stress, the induced MazF generates a Stress-induced Translation Machinery (STM), composed of MazF processed mRNAs and selective ribosomes that specifically translate the processed mRNAs. Results: Here it is reported that for most of the E. coli proteins mediated by stress-induced MazF, the ACA threonine codon in their mRNAs is not in-frame but rather out-of-frame; in these same RNAs, the three synonymous threonine codons, ACG, ACU, and ACC, are in-frame. In contrast, for proteins translated by the canonical translation system, in the majority of mRNAs, the ACA codon is located in-frame. Conclusion: The described bias in the genetic code is a characteristic of E. coli genes specifying for stress-induced MazF-mediated proteins.

The toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems have been attracting attention due to their role in regulating stress responses in prokaryotes and their biotechnological potential. Much recognition has been given to type II TA system of mesophiles, while thermophiles have received merely limited attention. Here, we are presenting the putative type II TA families encoded on the genomes of four Geobacillus strains. We employed the TA finder tool to mine for TA-coding genes and manually curated the results using protein domain analysis tools. We also used the NCBI BLAST, Operon Mapper, ProOpDB, and sequence alignment tools to reveal the geobacilli TA features. We identified 28 putative TA pairs, distributed over eight TA families. Among the identified TAs, 15 represent putative novel toxins and antitoxins, belonging to the MazEF, MNT-HEPN, ParDE, RelBE, and XRE-COG2856 TA families. We also identified a potentially new TA composite, AbrB-ParE. Furthermore, we are suggesting the Geobacillus acetyltransferase TA (GacTA) family, which potentially represents one of the unique TA families with a reverse gene order. Moreover, we are proposing a hypothesis on the xre-cog2856 gene expression regulation, which seems to involve the c-di-AMP. This study aims for highlighting the significance of studying TAs in Geobacillus and facilitating future experimental research.

AbstractToxin antitoxin system is a regulatory system that antitoxin inhibits the toxin. We aimed to determine the role of TA loci in biofilm formation in K. pneumoniae clinical and environmental isolates; also inhibition of biofilm formation by Peganum harmala. So, 40 K. pneumoniae clinical and environmental isolates were subjected for PCR to determine the frequency of mazEF, relEB, and mqsRA TA loci. Biofilm formation assay subjected for all isolates. Then, P. harmala was tested against positive biofilm formation strains. Our results demonstrated that relBE TA loci were dominant TA loci; whereas mqsRA TA loci were negative in all isolates. The most environmental isolates showed weak and no biofilm formation while strong and moderate biofilm formation observed in clinical isolates. Biofilm formations by K. pneumoniae in 9 ug/ml concentration were inhibited by P. harmala. In vivo study suggested to be performed to introduce Peganum harmala as anti-biofilm formation in K. pneumoniae.
