Txe, an endoribonuclease of the enterococcal Axe–Txe toxin–antitoxin system, cleaves mRNA and inhibits protein synthesis

The axe–txe operon encodes a toxin–antitoxin (TA) pair, Axe–Txe, that was initially identified on the multidrug-resistance plasmid pRUM in Enterococcus faecium. In Escherichia coli, expression of the Txe toxin is known to inhibit cell growth, and co-expression of the antitoxin, Axe, counteracts the...
