Figure 7. A suggested model for the inhibition of the recA- and lexA-mediated apoptotic-like pathway by the EDF-mazEF pathway.

Our model is based on the mazEF downstream pathway [27] and the EDF-mazEF-mediated cell death pathway [16],[24]–[28] that we have described previously [16],[24]–[28] and on the recA- and lexA-mediated apoptotic-like pathway on which we have reported here.
