Escherichia coli MazF Leads to the Simultaneous Selective Synthesis of Both “Death Proteins” and “Survival Proteins”
The Escherichia coli mazEF module is one of the most thoroughly studied toxin-antitoxin systems. mazF encodes a stable toxin, MazF, and mazE encodes a labile antitoxin, MazE, which prevents the lethal effect of MazF. MazF is an endoribonuclease that leads to the inhibition of protein synthesis by cleaving mRNAs at ACA sequences. Here, using 2D-gels, we show that in E. coli, although MazF induct...
متن کاملThe MazF-regulon: a toolbox for the post-transcriptional stress response in Escherichia coli
Flexible adaptation to environmental stress is vital for bacteria. An energy-efficient post-transcriptional stress response mechanism in Escherichia coli is governed by the toxin MazF. After stress-induced activation the endoribonuclease MazF processes a distinct subset of transcripts as well as the 16S ribosomal RNA in the context of mature ribosomes. As these 'stress-ribosomes' are specific f...
متن کاملMazF-mediated cell death in Escherichia coli: a point of no return.
mazEF is a stress-induced toxin-antitoxin module, located on the chromosome of Escherichia coli, that we have previously described to be responsible for programmed cell death in E. coli. mazF specifies a stable toxin, and mazE specifies a labile antitoxin. Recently, it was reported that inhibition of translation and cell growth by ectopic overexpression of the toxin MazF can be reversed by the ...
متن کاملThe RNA ligase RtcB reverses MazF-induced ribosome heterogeneity in Escherichia coli
When Escherichia coli encounters stress, the endoribonuclease MazF initiates a post-transcriptional response that results in the reprogramming of protein synthesis. By removing the 3΄-terminus of the 16S rRNA, MazF generates specialized ribosomes that selectively translate mRNAs likewise processed by MazF. Given the energy required for de novo ribosome biosynthesis, we considered the existence ...
متن کاملGUEST COMMENTARIES Universal Stress Proteins in Escherichia coli
Multiple members of the UspA family of proteins are found in the genomes of bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, and plants, but the biological and biochemical functions of these proteins are not known. In this issue of Journal of Bacteriology, Nachin et al. (6) describe a functional genomics approach to determining the cellular function(s) of the UspA family of proteins. A complex array of phen...
