Repression of toxin BsrG production by SR4. The ribosome binding site of the toxin is normally in a 4 nt stem (yellow). Binding by the antitoxin (red) causes structural changes that sequester the ribosome binding site in a longer stem. This interaction with the antitoxin can also trigger toxin mRNA degradation.
