Repression of ibs by the Sib antitoxin. The ibs mRNA (blue) is translated by the ribosome (purple) when the Sib antitoxin (red) is not present. Binding of the antitoxin RNA (red) blocks translation as it overlaps the ribosome binding site (yellow) and the translation initiation codon and then can potentially extend over the entire coding region.
