Name:Antitoxin RelB
Synonyms:Not Available
Gene Name:relB
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
General Function:transcription, DNA-templated
Specific Function:Antitoxin component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) module. Counteracts the effect of cognate toxin RelE via direct protein-protein interaction, preventing RelE from entering the ribosome A site and thus inhibiting its endoribonuclease activity. An autorepressor of relBE operon transcription. 2 RelB dimers bind to 2 operator sequences; DNA-binding and repression is stronger when complexed with toxin/corepressor RelE by conditional cooperativity (PubMed:18501926, PubMed:22981948). Increased transcription rate of relBE and activation of relE is consistent with a lower level of RelB in starved cells due to degradation of RelB by protease Lon.Seems to be a principal mediator of cell death in liquid media.
