Expression of type II toxins and antitoxins in E. coli BL21. (A) The ectopic expression of RelE toxins (BLpet-2329 and BLpet-2380), HigB toxin (BLpet-1419), and MazF toxin (BLpet-1992) inhibited cell growth while BLpet-1437 has no inhibitory effects on cell growth. (B) RelB antitoxins (BLpet-2330 and BLpet-2381), HigA antitoxin (BLpet-1418), MazE antitoxin (BLpet-1993), and BLpet-1436 did not inhibit cell growth.
