RnlAB

Contributors: Lucas Paoli

Description

RnlAB is a type II toxin-antitoxin system, in which RnlA is the toxin and RnlB the antitoxin (N/A) .

Molecular mechanisms

The RnlA toxin has an RNase activity. RnlB (formerly yfjO) is the antitoxin and suppresses the RNase LS activity (N/A) .

Example of genomic structure

The RnlAB is composed of 2 proteins: RnlA and RnlB.

Here is an example found in the RefSeq database:
