Predicted new TAS

Toxin (T) Antitoxin (AT) Comment
MNT HEPN MNT – minimal nucleotidyltransferase, possible toxin; HEPN – possible substrate binding domain; Structure solved (MNT: 1no5 and HEPN: 1o3u and 1jog). Molecular mechanism unknown.

PIN COG2442 Structure of AT is solved (PDB:2ga1):DNA/RNA-binding 3-helical bundle.

PIN COG2880 Structure of AT is solved (PDB:2nwt); related to AbrB superfamily

PIN COG1753 AT – RHH (RHH); Specific for archaea

PIN MerR AT: truncated MerR

COG4679 subfamily COG5606 HTH AT – predicted HTH domain; T – predicted RelE superfamily protein

RelE MJ1172 RHH Specific for methanogens; AT – predicted RHH superfamily protein

MazF XF1863 No prediction for AT

Fic/Doc YhfG AT – is predicted DNA-binding protein; Specific for enteroproteobacteria
