Notes

[back to top]


YafQ is homologous to the RelE toxin, which inhibits translation as a sequence-specific mRNA endoribonuclease. Coexpression of DinJ with YafQ blocks the growth inhibitory effect of YafQ (Motiejunaite, 2007; Szekeres, 2007). YafQ overexpression does not inhibit rich media growth completely (but does block growth on M9 glycerol plates) or cause a loss in CFU, as do the other toxins (Motiejunaite, 2007). DinJ and YafQ form a complex (Motiejunaite, 2007).[4] YafQ associates with ribosomes and stimulates mRNA cleavage at the A site[5]
