The VapBC-4 Characterization Indicates It Is a Bona Fide Toxin-Antitoxin Module of <i>Leptospira interrogans</i>: Initial Evidence for a Role in Bacterial Adaptation

The VapBC-4 Characterization Indicates It Is a Bona Fide Toxin-Antitoxin Module of <i>Leptospira interrogans</i>: Initial Evidence for a Role in Bacterial Adaptation

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are one of the bacterial adaptation mechanisms to adverse conditions. <i>Leptospira interrogans</i> serovar Copenhageni contains nine putative TA systems. To date, only VapBC-3 and VapBC-1 have been experimentally characterized and considered functional modul...
