The coevolution of toxin and antitoxin genes drives the dynamics of bacterial addiction complexes and intragenomic conflict
Bacterial genomes commonly contain ‘addiction’ gene complexes that code for both a toxin and a corresponding antitoxin. As long as both genes are expressed, cells carrying the complex can remain healthy. However, loss of the complex (including segregational loss in daughter cells) can entail death o...
